I'm trying to run a mysql connection, and I am getting this error:
ERROR: Unable to connect to mysql: (2002) Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
I have been checking on other forums etc, and yes i checked if mysql server is running, and yes it is running ok,no portblocking, but what i see strage is that i dont ahve mysql.sock in my /var/lib/mysql directory.
I appreciate any sign of help.

I have mysql database which was working fine earlier. After getting too many connections error. I have increased max connection and restarted my centos server. But after restart I used below command to connect to server.
mysql -uroot -p
But I am getting below errors.
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2).
I tried all the options available on google. But it didn't worked for me. Some are saying to reinstall mysql, but I have data in GB's which I don't want to lost. Please can anyone help me to solve this problem.Thanks in advance.
Make sure you are indexing the right socket file.
Try this and provide the output.
check the socket in the my.cnf
cat /etc/my.cnf | grep -i socket
After installing Mariadb on Debian 9, I am trying to run /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation. The script starts okay, but after I press 'enter' for no root password, I get the following error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")
I have to ctl-c to get out of the script.
The socket is set in /etc/mysql/debian.cnf to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
It is also set in /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
The server is not running.
After digging around many, many places, the answer was right under my nose on the Troubleshooting Connection Issues page at the MariaDB website 1
The error means that the server is either not running or running on a different port, socket or pipe. Since I knew the server was not running, I started it with
/etc/init.d/mysql start
before running the script and no more problems with the error or the script.
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
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.
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

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).
