Solution :

This error usually comes up if you do not stop docker properly.

To resolve the error please follow bellow instructions.

service docker stop
cd /var/run/docker/libcontainerd
rm -rf containerd/*
rm -f docker-containerd.pid
service docker start

finally "docker run...." 

To download your image and start the container as usual.

Couldn't connect to docker daemon at http+docker://localhost - is it running?
Problem : I installed the docker-machine 0.1.0 and docker-compose 1.1.0 on the Mac OS 10.8.5. Docker-machine is running normally and able to connect by the docker-machine ssh. But can't connect from docker-compose getting following error: $ docker-compose up ... running? If it's at a non-standard location, specify the URL with the DOCKER_HOST environment variable. Why can't I connect? Any clues?
