What would cause intermittent SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory errors from php PDO mysql on Debian Lenny?

Question

Connections are through localhost, using the mysqld sock file. These are working 99+% of the time, but under some weird conditions I get the error:

SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory

The same pages will work again on the next request.

The only thing I can think of is some kind of strange filesystem error.

It turns out mysql getting restarted would cause this error. :p And this site won't let you answer your own question right away for some reason. Thanks for the help.

Well, what do you need to do when the error happens? What's the solution? – Aditya M P Jan 10 '13 at 23:17

Could be a file permission problem on the sock file.

Mine is in /var/run/mysqld and ls -l of it looks like this

srwxrwxrwx 1 mysql mysql 0 May 14 06:28 mysqld.sock
