When my cron job for the mautic:campaign:update script runs, I get the following error.  
  
  
  
[DoctrineDBALExceptionConnectionException]  
  
An exception occured in driver: Can’t connect to local MySQL server through  
  
socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2)  
  
  
  
I am on shared hosting and Mautic was installed buy Softaculous.  
  
  
  
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  
  
  
  
thanks,  
  
  
  
Bob
