Why can't install mysql and phpmyadmin?

Question

PHP

Mysql specified a password when installing. Mysql installation failed

dpkg: error processing package mysql-server (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-0ubuntu6.14) ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
mysql-server-5.5
mysql-server
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I ignored it and went to install phpmyadmin.
I entered the password, that's all. But, apparently, due to an error with mysql, the installation of phpmyadmin failed.

Creating config file /etc/phpmyadmin/config-db.php with new version
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2).
unable to connect to mysql server.
error encountered creating user:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
An error occurred while installing the database:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

If at this point you choose "retry", you will be prompted with all the
configuration questions once more and another attempt will be made at performing
the operation. "retry (skip questions)" will immediately attempt the operation
again, skipping all questions. If you choose "abort", the operation will fail
and you will need to downgrade, reinstall,
otherwise manually intervene to continue using it. If you choose "ignore", the
operation will continue, ignoring further errors from dbconfig-common.

1. abort 2. retry 3. retry (skip questions) 4. ignore

How to solve this? Please help
