    Dii: i use this command sudo gedit /opt/lamp/etc/my.cnf but unfortunately the file is empty. there is nothing in it.

    lyut: your command sudo find /opt/lampp -name my.cnf -type f | xargs grep -n socket

    displays this
    @
    root@zafar-laptop:/# sudo find /opt/lampp -name my.cnf -type f | xargs
    /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf
    @

          lyut: your command sudo find /opt/lampp -name my.cnf -type f | xargs grep -n socket actually displays this. above one was wrong because i use the wrong command

          @
          root@zafar-laptop:/# sudo find /opt/lampp -name my.cnf -type f | xargs grep -n socket
          21:socket = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock
          28:socket = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

            lyut: sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/my.cnf this command does open my.cnf and it also have

            socket = /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

            in two lines means there are two entries for socket in my.cnf

              I think this is rather rough solution, but worth trying:

              @sudo mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld
              sudo ln -s /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock@

                so what next i think here the path for socket is correct because i have one mysql.sock file in that exactly same directory

                    millions of thanks to both of you TYUT and Dii. it works. one more question can please tell me what does this command do
                    @
                    sudo ln -s /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
                    @

                    and also if i want to install everything from scratch then once i have to use this command to make it work?

                      doforumda: the problem was ~small... the Qt mysql driver looks for the socket file (the connection to mysql) in the default location (var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock), though you had it somewhere else, because your lampp package changed the path.

                      The "ln -s" made a symbolic link to that, so the /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock point to the /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock. This way Qt can find it. If you do a new installation, with lampp, you should do it again, if you use the regular mysql package, probably, you won't face this problem.

                      lyuts: great work, we deserve these points :)

                        I think our solution is rough enough, but at least it works. I think the best solution is to set the socket parameter in my.cnf to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. But it is up to you doforumda.

                        Hey, I'm lyuts, not TYUT :)

                          lyuts: I think that's the best solution, if he is changing the socket parameter of mysql probably he will screw up some other components in his LAMPP configuration. I don't recommend that.

                            I don't know what's going on within LAMPP and you might be right. It's just creating this symlink looks more like a workaround.

                                  i have got the same problem again after restarting my system.
                                  when i execute code it again fails to connect. it returns this problem.
                                  @
                                  Starting /home/zafar/c++/insertquery-build-desktop/insertquery...

                                  /home/zafar/c++/insertquery-build-desktop/insertquery exited with code 0
                                  @

                                  i ran this command
                                  @
                                  sudo ln -s /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
                                  @
                                  but this displays this error
                                  @
                                  ln: creating symbolic link `/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock': No such file or directory
                                  @
                                  i have already created this directory while lyut and Dii were solving this problem. at that time when i ran this command it worked really perfect but now it is not working.
                                  Please help

                                    Let's check to existence of those sock files...

                                    sudo ls -l /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock

                                    sudo ls -l /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

                                      well mysql.sock is there
                                      but there is no such thing in mysqld. i mean there is no mysqld.sock file in mysqld folder
