I installed XAMPP from the apachefriends.org following these instructions: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#377 .

The problem is that file /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock is missing. How can i get this file?
Thing is I want to run an easy MySQL command learning tool and I get this error that the file is missing. (Warning: PDO::__construct() [pdo.–construct]: [2002] No such file or directory (trying to connect via unix:///opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock) in /opt/lampp/htdocs/SID/sid.php on line 188)

XAMPP is running ok, I started it with sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start. http://localhost/ works fine. I checked /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf and it’s ok, it contains this data http://pastebin.me/8d6b367a7ee76be70f944d9b960bb8f0

Please help, how can I get that mysql.sock?

Thanks

    execute the next command in a Terminal windows:

    ps -ax|grep mysql

    And you can see a result like this:

    –socket=/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/var/mysql/mysql.sock –port=3306
