2.3 The error message "Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (111) ..." is displayed. What can I do?

For RedHat users, Harald Legner suggests this on the mailing list:
The error message can also be: :guilabel:`Error #2002 - The server is not
responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)`.
First, you need to determine what socket is being used by MySQL. To do this,
connect to your server and go to the MySQL bin directory. In this directory
there should be a file named *mysqladmin*. Type ``./mysqladmin variables``, and
this should give you a bunch of info about your MySQL server, including the
socket (*/tmp/mysql.sock*, for example). You can also ask your ISP for the
connection info or, if you're hosting your own, connect from the 'mysql'
command-line client and type 'status' to get the connection type and socket or
port number.
Then, you need to tell PHP to use this socket. You can do this for all PHP in
the :file:`php.ini` or for phpMyAdmin only in the :file:`config.inc.php`. For
example: :config:option:`$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']` Please also make sure
that the permissions of this file allow to be readable by your webserver.
On my RedHat-Box the socket of MySQL is */var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock*.
In your :file:`php.ini` you will find a line

Then restart apache and it will work.
Here is a fix suggested by Brad Ummer:
* First, you need to determine what socket is being used by MySQL. To do
this, telnet to your server and go to the MySQL bin directory. In this
directory there should be a file named *mysqladmin*. Type
``./mysqladmin variables``, and this should give you a bunch of info
about your MySQL server, including the socket (*/tmp/mysql.sock*, for
example).
* Then, you need to tell PHP to use this socket. To do this in
phpMyAdmin, you need to complete the socket information in the
:file:`config.inc.php`. For example:
:config:option:`$cfg['Servers'][$i]['socket']` Please also make sure that
the permissions of this file allow to be readable by your webserver (i.e.
'0755').

documentation <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html>`_.
