Re: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

I have resolved this issue. I discovered that with my xampp install, mysql.sock cannot be found at '/var/lib/mysql/' but rather at '/opt/lampp/var/mysql/'. I edited my.cnf to reflect this (replacing "socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock" with "socket = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock"). Now everything works as it should.
