While installing VtigerCRM, I was asked to provide the location of the socket file of MySQL running on my pc. I have searched virtually everywhere on my pc and I just can't locate it. Will somebody help me please, its urgent.

First you must make sure that mysqld is running

Code:

ps -ef|grep mysqld

If it's running, you can use

Code:

lsof|grep mysql.sock

to find the location of the socket file.
Other ways to find it is by examining my.cnf, or running

Code:

updatedb
locate mysql.sock
