Cant connect to local MySQL server through socket /tmp/mysql.sock
Q Have you ever had the error message Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' from your PHP program. It's one that I see quite often, but it doesn't seem all that well documented ... so what's the cause, and the cure? A The error message seems to occur if you delete your MySQL installation and re-install - something we do very frequently during our training. You need to remember to delete the /etc/my.cnf ~/my.cnf and data and spool directories before you re-install if you want a clean start. If you have the error message above and want a temporary fix, try connecting to "127.0.0.1" and you'll probably find it will work ;-) (written 2009-10-17, updated 2009-10-18) Associated topics are indexed under S153 - Sourcing, Running and Configuring MySQL[2445] Securing MySQL on a production server - (2009-10-09) [2444] Potted MySQL installation - (2009-10-09) [2426] Which version of MySQL am I running? - (2009-09-26) [2209] Monitoring and Tuning your MySQL installation - (2009-05-31) [2085] MySQL - licensing issues, even with using the name - (2009-03-16) [1935] Summary of MySQL installation on a Linux system - (2008-12-11) [1771] More HowTo diagrams - MySQL, Tomcat and Java - (2008-08-24) [1731] Apache httpd, MySQL, PHP - installation procedure - (2008-08-01) [1689] Some sideways thoughts on the news - (2008-06-27) [1131] MySQL - Password security (authentication protocol) - (2007-04-02) [1123] mysqldump and mysqlrestore - (2007-03-30) [1095] Apache httpd , browser, MySQL and MySQL client downloads - (2007-02-28) [907] Browser -> httpd -> Tomcat -> MySQL.
