MySQL error message
 

I am setting up a MySQL server and I wanted to run some benchmark tests. When I tried to run the run-all-tests script under mysql-bench, I got the following error message:

DBI connect failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/llib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

What do I need to change to correct this? Thanks.

Are you sure your MySQL Server is running? Usually you get this error when it's stopped. Try start/restart the server.

And if it is running, who are you running the benchmark as? Might make a difference to use a user that has access to the running process/sock, etc.
