Hi Sheldon, It sounds like your mysql engine isn't started. Try /etc/init.d/mysql start And put a UPS on that server, don't leave yourself susceptible to power outages. Hope that works.

All along, the data-entry process was going fine until we got a power outage. The systems shutdown immediately. When the electricity was back on, we attempted to enter bibliographic records into the system but we couldn't. Whenever we try save a record the following error message showed: *Koha error* The following fatal error has occurred: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 666. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue so that we can resume our data-entry process. We are hoping to commence our online service soon, and without the following error fixed we cannot move forward.
