Installing 7.10.1 with LAMPP 7.2.2.-0(latest) on a fresh Ubuntu 17.10

[IAC]

XAMPP and LAMPP are the same thing. (x means cross platform). Apache is 2.4.29, MariaDB is 10.1.30(seems to be the mysql equivalent) PHP is 7.2.2.

The “hostname” is the default “localhost” and the “URL of CRM instance” is http://localhost. i don’t think i’ve not messed with any port settings.

When i try that command it says:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock’ (2 “No such file or directory”)
