when i adjust my amarok to run mySQL i get this message


MySQL reported the following error:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
You can configure MySQL in the Collection section under Settings->Configure Amarok


my hostname is listed as local host port 3306 with an amarok database. anyone know how to fix this?

i had the same problem.

if you are also using lampp you can solve it with a symlink:
ln -s /opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

perhaps you have to create the mysqld folder.

hope it works.
