Docker TLS Error on Ubuntu

I am trying to learn about Docker in ubuntu 15.04.

When i give any command using docker like "docker info", it arise following error:

FATA[0000] Post http:///var/run/docker.sock/v1.17/containers/create: dial unix /var/run/docker.sock: no such file or directory. Are you trying to connect to a TLS-enabled daemon without TLS?

I don't understand what does it mean.

Somebody help me to fix this error.Thanks

If you are using boot2docker and its running, this should solve your problem

eval "$(boot2docker shellinit)"

I ran into this issue a little bit ago when trying to follow some of the original Ubuntu installation instructions and was unable to start the docker service.

I ran the following to install the latest of docker:

wget -qO- https://get.docker.com/gpg |sudo apt-key add -
curl -sSL https://get.docker.com/ubuntu | sudo sh
sudo apt-get update

Then after adding my local user to the docker group and rebooting, I still hit the Daemon TLS error.

Investigating the service it appeared to be masked and I tried unmasking it, but it still wouldn't work until I also unmasked docker.socket as well and enabled the service with the following commands:

sudo systemctl unmask docker.service
sudo systemctl unmask docker.socket
sudo systemctl enable docker.service

Found the answer to the last piece here in case any of you hit this problem as well: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/docker-user/3Sou7Umo0SA

Is docker running?

service docker.io restart

Are you running as root?

sudo docker info

Are the Env variables set?

env | grep DOCKER
DOCKER_HOST=tcp://.....:2376
DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1
DOCKER_CERT_PATH=/.....
