How to fix "Cannot Connect to Socket mysql.lib" Errors!

[oxidati0n]

If you ever get an error including the message

"Error: Cannot connect to Socket through '/mysql/socket/mysql.lib' on mysql.php on line 3"

It's no PHP error, It's a MySQL breakdown error.

To resolve this error:

1. Login into your CPanel/DirectAdmin/Plesk/Wamp Server (CPanel = 2082) (Plesk = 6505)

2. Click MySQL Databases/SQL Manager

3. Find your database name and click 'Repair'.

If it cannot find the error through there, Then it obviously is a server messup.

Reboot from the main server socket would easy fix this..

If you are your own host, (Dedicated Only) You can reboot it.

Reseller's are created from Dedicated so they are not acceptable as a rebooter.

If you require any assistance PM me,

Nick.

But if it comes around..It's here.

;) I use to have it with my windows webserver, but changed to linux..

--Plus if you ever get a choice of picking Windows or Linux..Be sure to pick Linux..More speedy and reliable!

Did you know?

CPanel X is run by linux, thats why you get the most speed at a high range. It may not be "the fastest" but trust me, It could be a lot more slower!

i use both types of servers, windows servers are not good with web sites unless using .Net technology. instead i use windows servers to host private gaming servers, teamspeak, shoutcast, ect.ect..., and linux for websites
