General :: Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Jun 2, 2010
i am using liferay5.2(mysql included in the download pack) on fedora. while liferay is working fine but i cannot connect to mysql.i am getting the error
[
[root@localhost ~]# ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp
[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/mysqld start
Timeout error occurred trying to start MySQL Daemon.
[code]....
i didnt find the mysql.sock file in the location /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock. i cannot find the portal-ext.properties file also to make intial settings.
I think this goes here, but I'm not sure. I decided that XAMPP had been troublesome enough. MySQL never worked. So I decided to instal the LAMP stack offered by YaST. I went about installing it thinking that it would all work. But it seems that I was wrong. So I try to start mysql, and here's what I get:
Code: the-matrix:~ # mysql start ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) or Code: the-matrix:~ # rcmysql start Starting service MySQL warning: /var/mysql/mysql.sock didn't appear within 30 seconds chmod: cannot access `/var/run/mysql/mysqld.pid': No such file or directory
I need some help.Trying to set up bugzilla on my VM.After setting up the IP to use static i could log on to the url its not even loading up from command line its issueing an error.when i try to log on to mysql
bugzilla:~# mysql -u root mysql] ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I'm having problems connecting to the mysql database on my system. I first noticed this when I was trying to set up the program anymeal. I subsequently tried using MySQL Administrator (mysql-admin), but had no luck. It gives my the following feedback:
Code:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Click the 'Ping' button to see if there is a networking problem. I press the ping button, and it seems to connect.
I've been attempting to set up a LAMP for local web development, which meant installing mysql-server. But now have a problem when trying to run mysql, I get:-
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
When trying to downgrade mysql-server I saw that there are dependency problems between the various modules (but can't recall which). But whichever route I truied the results are always the same.
Thought about trying XAMPP but I note that even has it's problems, is there any way I can get a lamp set up on FC14, or must I give it up as a bad job.
Howver, just been trying to again to fix the problems with downgrading mysql and get:-
After the upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04, all was well. But after the upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, I lost the MySQL server. Now, I recall during the upgrade, I was asked if I wanted to keep the existing my.cnf file or replace it with a newer one. I did as suggested and kept the original as I had edited it before. The same question was asked with a couple other config files. I kept the original in each case. After the first step, I checked the server was running and the websites were up, all was well. After the update to 9.10, when I checked the server, I get the following error:
Code: error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists! Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting this resolved?
I'm the lead Dev of GnackTrack and we're having issues with running MySQL on the LiveDVD.Once installed everything works fine, mysql can be connected to but when using the liveDVD we get the following error:
Code:
root@root:~# mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) Contents of /etc/mysql/my.cf point to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock but because this is a liveDVD the actual file is located in: /rofs/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
I am getting the following error when starting mysql using 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start':

I wrote a code in C to connect to MySQL by using mysql_real_connect function but I recieved error "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)" (by using mysql_error function).
I also did the following things: in mysql I typed 'SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%SOCKET%'', it returned /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock I typed 'mysql_config --socket' in shell, it returned /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock I modified /etc/my.cnf file

I'm using fedora 13(x86_64).i got an error message while starting the mysql database software through the kernel. Code: [pradeep@localhost ~]$ mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) [pradeep@localhost ~]$ this is the first time i'm using the mysql in linux environment. do i have to configure anything before using it for the first time ?!
I some how installed mysql-5.1.46 (I believe I have installed) When I start mysql I am getting error: [root@501 ~]# mysql ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Then when I restart: [root@501 ~]# /etc/init.d/mysql restart ERROR! MySQL manager or server PID file could not be found! Starting MySQL. ERROR! Manager of pid-file quit without updating file.
Then I tried to safe start mysql : [root@501 ~]# mysqld_safe 100426 21:36:49 mysqld_safe Logging to '/usr/local/mysql/data/501.training.com.err'. 100426 21:36:49 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /usr/local/mysql/data 100426 21:36:49 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid file /usr/local/mysql/data/501.training.com.pid ended .....
when i tried the command mysql -u root it is giving me an error that "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'(2)" although my mysql server is ruuning beacuse i m using XAMMP server and its inbuild mysql server is running i cannot use service mysqld start command beacuse this command try to start another instance of mysql and i required mysql of XAMMP.
During the boot of CentOs I see this message which never stops scrolling during all the boot : ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
I get this error. ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
So, I checked whether the file mysqld.sock is there in its respective folder, but I could not find that file. How to create the file and start mysql server.
I have installed the mysql server on my ubuntu. I need to assign or reset the root password. I followed the article at http://www.ubuntugeek.com/reset-the-...-on-mysql.html. When I ran the command
[Code]....
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) what am i doing wrong, and explain to someone who almost has no experience with ubuntu. I am new to this.
I've tried /etc/init.d/mysql start, and it actually starts, or at least, it doesn't error out. But when I do pgrep mysql I get nothing, and when I try to login with mysql -p as root, I get
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
None of my other logins work, either, but since pgrep mysql didn't work, it's clear that MySQL just isn't running. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling mysql-server via apt-get, but I get the same thing. The logs in /var/log/syslog show this:
Apr 11 14:31:26 /etc/init.d/mysql[9774]: #007/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed Apr 11 14:31:26 /etc/init.d/mysql[9774]: error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server
I've downloaded and installed MySQL-client-5.1.53-1.glibc23.x86_64.rpm. I'm rather new to linux so it might be I haven't started the server. Unfortunately I have no idea which file is responsible for that. It is also possible that my head isn't functioning correctly ( if at all ).
Error I receive is:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
I thought that the problem is in the phpMyAdmin not in the mysql. But now i think different. It seems that the problem is right in the mysql. I think that there was no root user, when mysql was freshly installed. Unfortunately i did everything i can find on internet (some tutorials) but they don`t helped me at all, maybe i fu**ed up the mysql service. So i reinstalled it, and when i want to start it there is no file mysql.sock and i get the following:
linux-nepg:~ # service mysql restart Restarting service MySQL Shutting down service MySQL done Starting service MySQL warning: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock didn't appear within 30 seconds
how to upgrade from mysql5.1 to mysql5.5 version. Pls guide me in briefly.I did upgrade with the help of this url
http://www.ovaistariq.net/490/a-step...-to-mysql-5-5/ but i got error like this error:2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) when trying to connect FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed
In /etc/my.cnf , i didnt get like this. Is this is the error user = mysql; socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock; port = 3306; basedir = /usr/local/mysql; datadir = /usr/local/mysql/data; tmpdir = /tmp; log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2). I've had this problem to the point where I thought I messed up my actual configuration so bad that I reinstalled Ubuntu to get rid of all the MySQL configuration; I ran MySQL through Windows with a breeze, but I'm getting some errors like that after restarting my computer just a few minutes ago and I have not changed anything in my SQL settings. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and running MySQL 5.1. the actual error that I get from Navicat and from the website is at [URL]... Update: 20110402. Connection for controluser as defined in your configuration failed. Just got that when I tried to log in to phpmyadmin.
In looking at the release notes, I saw the comment File locations changes:
* MySQL socket file and pid file were moved from /var/lib/mysql to more reasonable location /var/run/mysql by default.
* MySQL log files are in /var/log/mysql. Not sure what I was supposed to do with that information. So I ignored it. Now, I am finding some issues with it. The web server works, but any connection to the database fails with 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)The thought dawned on me that maybe all my databases were erased and none set up. Going in to the terminal, I could connect and list and query the databases. So even though I backed them up, they still are there!
phpMyAdmin gives the same error message.
However, when I go into MySQL Administrator, it works fine.
I forgot where I saw it, but the socket is still set to var/lib/mysql. I could not find any mysql install log and would say what was in my cnf.my, but it still doesn't exist just as it has not in the past. Not sure if I should allow the MySQL Administrator to create it since I always ignored the prompt in the past and it worked. (Just wishing to keep the defaults)
At first I thought the upgrade upgraded the MySQL, but it's still 5.1.39 as I believe before. I've un-installed mysql-server and re-installed it with no change.
Can anyone can tell me how to get the socket to /var/run/mysql or what else is wrong? I read one place where mysql is supposed to set it up.
I am in the process of installing a genome brower on an ubuntu 10.04 (lucid). I achieved to see the browser once. Then, the mysql.sock disappeared and to solve this I tried first, to reboot the server with no results. Then I removed and reinstalled the MySQL server installing mysql-server-5.1. Now, I have a socket and MySQL is running (checked these out) but when I try to see the browser that is what I obtain:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)
I'm using mysql server through tcp/ip with no problem. But I don't know since when I'm not able to connect through socket. There are lots of topics but my bad I couldn't find one works for me.
