After trying to install the LAMP package on Ubuntu 16.04, I'm getting the error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can not connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I've reinstalled all MySql 2x;
apt remove mysql*
and apt- purge mysql*
.
I tried installing MySql 5.6 and 5.7 and both return the same error.
