Hi there, I managed to get into my Amazon instance and have used the command cd /var/lib/mysql to get to the mysql folder. Now I would like to download everything inside OR download just the database. I tried using this command: sudo mysqldump -all databases But this error returned: mysqldump: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) when trying to connect Any help is really appreciated !
