I’m trying to create a site on Parrot
OS using Local by Flywheel, but I’m running into an issue with MySQL.
When I try to create the site, I get the following error:

ERROR
Error: Command failed: /home/ farrukh/.config/Local/lightning-services/mysql-8.0.16+6/bin/ linux/bin/mysqladmin ping mysqladmin: connect to server at
‘localhost’ failed
error: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/ home/farrukh/.config/Local/run/ SOLZAKffN/mysql/mysqld.sock’
(2) ‘

Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: ‘/home/ farrukh/.config/Local/run/ SOLZAKFfN/mysql/mysqld.sock’
exists!

Environment:
• OS: Parrot OS
• MySQL Version: 8.0.16
• Installed via: Local by Flywheel (Lightning Services)

Why is this error occurring, and how can I fix it to successfully create a site?

I asked GPT and started the mysql service using “sudo service mysql start” but didn’t resolve
