Hello, I have this error and I searched google and tried all suggestions but not working for me. whenever I try to connect MySQL on paythonanywhere.com I get this error "(2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2" please any one has a solution for me? I can't install MySQL cause I get permission denied message.

This help page has the details. The most important bit -- you need to specify the MySQL server host in your connection parameters. The hostname is on the "Databases" tab.

Thanks for your reply problem already been solved. and your are right the problem was HOST parameter. thanks anyhow

Are you sure that you're using the right database name and password? The password should match the one in the file .my.cnf in your home directory, and the database name should be something like fernandocad$yourdbname.
