I'm trying to setup my Magento site and keep receiving the following errors:
SQLSTATE [HY000] [2002] No such file or directory error
Then it lists a lot of files that it cannot find. Please help.

Hey there,
This looks like you either did not setup your phpinfo.php file at all/not correctly or MySQL isn't working.
I found this dev doc page from Magento that helps explain what is happening. It looks like there is a php configurations error. It cannot find your SQL. You most likely need to either setup or edit your phpinfo.php file.
I found some other great info on the Magento Stack Exchange Page
If the file is correct then you need may need to restart MySQL. You can check if its running with the following command:
systemctl status mysql
If its not running then you can run the following command:
sudo systemctl restart mysql
Hope this helps!
