Yes, it will show like this if missing mysqld.scok in respective path So please try below 1. Go to opt/lamp/var/mysql/ 2. Right-click over mysql.sock and -> makelink mysql.sock 3. Cut the copy link and paste it into root/var/run/create mysql folder, paste it and the copy file name to rename mysqld.sock

Try this and restart the PHP server with commad /opt/lamp/lamp restart

Try this, this worked for me
