    Unhappy How to fix messed up mysql

    hello I am Using kali 18.2.I probably messed up my mysql while trying to install xampp and tweaked some settings. right now I am not able to use mysql at all. when ever I try to use .. it shows my this error
    ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2 "No such file or directory") '

    ... cant access mysql -u root ....

    mysql -u root -p does letme enter password but next the same error.
    # service mysql status shows me this output

    I'd try using apt remove mysql, then run apt install mysql.
