Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’

Friday, February 29th, 2008

This error can be quite a pain when setting up a new server.  It normally is not hard to fix so here are the ways we have used the most:

Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’

  1.  Your mysql.sock might be located elsewhere use ‘find / -name mysql.sock’
  2. If it is located else where then ln -s [target] [nameoflink] this will link the file and allow it to start.

Permissions

  1. If you didnt find mysql.sock on your system then do ‘cd /’
  2. Then ‘chmod 777 tmp’

Those should fix the issue
