Mysql got issue

[edisonvpb]

Hello guys

I got problem in mysql.ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'.

How to fix it.

Thank you.

That error means the file /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock doesn't exists, if you didn't install mysql-server, then the file would not exist. But if the mysql-server is already installed and is running, then you need to check the config files.

Alternatively this error comes up when a mysql-server went down caused by high load. But after a restart everything should work fine again.

mysql.ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'. error occur when running "# mysql -u USER -p" command. Most of the time this error occur when mysql is not installed properly.
