XAMPP(LAMPP)'s phpmyadmin throwing error #2002

Question

I have just installed XAMPP(LAMPP) about a hour ago and I am continously searching for the error I am getting on while opening http://localhost/phpmyadmin(phpmyadmin). The screen of the error is as follows: (sorry for those tabs) :P

So how can I resolve the error?

I searched on the net and found that my mysql.sock file is missing but I am not getting on how to fix that issue. So how can I bring my mysql.sock file back?

Thanks in advance :)

just start the mysql server using

sudo systemctl start mysql

then you should reconfigure your phpmyadmin using these commands

sudo dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin

this should fix the issue
