Hi All, Recently we developed a problem whilst trying to enter bibliographic records into koha. 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.

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.
