Hi,
I instralled the Centmin mod with guide.
When I try mysql -u root -p
I get this error after entering password
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")

When I try Phpmyadmin
I get similar error mysqli_real_connect(): (HY000/2002): No such file or directory

When I check with this code yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client
I get this
Package MariaDB-server-10.1.37-1.el7.centos.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package MariaDB-client-10.1.37-1.el7.centos.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Can someone help me please
Thank you

Do you recommend to reinstall centos and centmin mod from beginning?

 

Yes good idea
Okay I reinstall see how it goes

do you recommend this code
curl -sL http://centminmod.com/betainstaller.sh | bash
or somethign else?
