Description
Installed Ubuntu 12.4.1 with Xampp
default localhost is not the same as 127.0.0.1
Error: (2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)")
fixed bug by entering the local IP to replace localhost default value:
" 'HOST': '127.0.0.1', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. "
Consider fixing bug or update manual for compatibility issues

Not a request just pointing out that this might happen.
I'm not an expert also, but i think is something worth mention in any place, because may help some one to understand what is a mysql misconfiguration and how to fix it.
If some one know how to fix this issue please point it out.
MySQL uses a local (ie. filesystem) socket when the host is "localhost", using "127.0.0.1" forces the use of a network socket.
This only makes a difference when the server is misconfigured, which appears to be the case here.
I'm nowhere near a MySQL expert, and I'm not sure to understand your request, so I don't know what to do next.
