Open your MySQL config file /etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.cnf and edit the lines where the socket file is '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' The lines have format socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock which in your case should be: socket = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock Make sure the user that runs the MySQL server can access that file ;) BR, Jovan
