So when I get to the step where we enter `mysql -u root` I get the following error message,
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")
Seems like I'm doing something wrong. I dont particularly remember ever being prompted to set up a MYSQL server when installing Kali, maybe I never installed it and thats the problem ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
its showing that error 2002 can't connect
thx pro you tha man
I've been doing right what you've said but when I restart it gives me
'job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with the error code. '
Now it doesn't neither restart or start normally, what should I do?

Alright I fixed it.. But now when I run the "proxychains iceweasel http://www.ipchicken.com" I says "|s-chain|
<>-127.0.0.1 :9050<><>-4.2.2.2 :53-<- – timeout |DNS-response| : http://www.ipchicken.com does not exist."hey i really need some help. i saw your "instal and configure TOr with PRoxychains" video and i was curious how to activate your tor after you turn your pc off and back on. i booted my laptop and i typed in " service tor status" said it was (dead). Also i was following your video and everything went smoothly but then i tried it on my own and i typed "proxychains iceweasel http://www.ipchicken.com" it said that it kept timing out over and over and then it said that http://www.ipchicken.com does not exist.
