[SOLVED] Can't connect to local MySQL server

UPDATE**

I have solved the issue.

For others who might face the same problem, I have solved it by removing the socket line in /etc/odbc.ini in

Socket = /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Also, replaced localhost with the IP address to connect through it. I used localhost IP 127.0.0.1

Server = 127.0.0.1

Don’t forget to reboot your machine,

I would like to mention this post as a reference as well
