I am using a virtual machine (ubuntu12.04) with Vagrant for development purposes. I had installed Apache, PHP and MySQL - which all originally worked. Now, MySQL seems to not work.
When I check the stasus by using sudo service mysql status:
mysql stop/waiting.
I tried to restart MySQL:
stop: Unknown instance
start: Job failed to start
While trying to connect via mysql -u root -p:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)
I have gone through different questions related to this issue on this site but most solutions are referring to a memory space problem (which is not in my case).

I have started mysql using
brew services start mysql
and I made sure that mysql is started by checking it using
brew services list
it shows that the status of mysql is "started".
however when I try to run the command
mysql
it'll say:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (62)
I have searched online for multiple answers already but none of them would solve my problem.
How should I solve this?
in my mac, run this will solve my problems
$ sudo mysql.server start
I'm using Linux and I recently downgraded MySQL to 5.6 from 5.7 (due to some issues because of its strictness). Now when I use command mysql, I get the error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I have checked several posts and systemctl mysql startseems to work. But everytime I reboot my system, I have to use systemctl mysql start again to start MySQL.
Also, service start mysql doesn't work.
There is no /etc/my.cnf file, only /etc/mysql/my.cnf file. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04.
How can I configure it so that the MySQL service starts at boot?
Edit:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
This post is unable to help either.
Basically, if mysql command is running without a host, it looks for a socket file on your local machine (this lets it connect to the running process directly). You have two workarounds. One is to include host in your mysql connection command mysql -u root -p -H 127.0.0.1, the other is to modify my.cnf to include:
[mysqld]
socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[client]
socket=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

I have been tried most off solutions given for above error but i am not able to connect mysql server. It had been working before my ubuntu system update.
I found the problem, The mysql library update stucks. That is why mysql server updating process not be completing.
When i check command "ps aux | grep mysql", i got process list of mysql update stuck processing as in given below image

So, when i killed those both processes(pid=6728 and 7041), I am able to connect mysql server easily.
Hello i been running into this error after moving my website to a new host
[DonationSystem] Connection to database failed! Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
I am running on the same version of linux ub 12.04 the server one.
i have a few databases running that are working such as my phpbb one.
i have tried link them edit configs and everything else the internet has told me even removed mysql and reinstalled it so any ideas?

I recently upgraded to a new macbook pro and haven't been able to get mysql to install. I have been trying to install using the:
mysql-5.5.8-osx10.6-x86_64.dmg
which 'should' work for my machine, but is not. After installing the three pieces (mysql.pkg,
startup.pkg, prefpane) I get nothing. Trying to start mySQL through the prefpane freezes sysprefs. Trying to start via the terminal gets this error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
So I deleted all of the mysql install files and reinstalled following these instructions:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/12820394
when I get to the step where I would set up the root password i get the following error:
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
This is perhaps due to the fact that there are no mysql related files in /tmp ? I can't find anything *.sock anywhere on my machine at all. I really don't know much about server admin, so I could be totally confused and off here.
It can have moved to /var/mysql/mysql.sock. I think it is the new position. You may need to point your php.ini to that or create a symbolic link to ln -s /var/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock...
