Connection error on MySQL Workbench 6.1 - mysql

I just upgraded my comp to the beta Yosemite and now my MySQL is giving me a connection problem.
I used to be able to run this command in terminal and get results:
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql -uroot -e "SELECT * FROM table_name"
But now it returns this:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
I'm not sure how I even set this connection up in the first place so please any answers, pretend I'm not too savvy with this... Thanks in advance!!

First, verify that your MySQL server is running:
mysql.server start
If that was not the issue, try starting the MySQL server in safe-mode using these instructions

Okay I found out what happened. When I upgraded to Yosemite, this file disappeared or something. Anyway I had to reinstall the files. Everything is here in this link under the MySQL section:

If you have your MySQL UP and running, you could try the following step to get your issue sorted out!
This worked for me and hope works for you too!
sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start

Issue when starting MySQL on Mac OSX

I downloaded Mac OSX MySQL Community edition (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/), and when I start it at
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
I meet with the following issue:
ERROR 2002 (HY000):
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Anyone have any good ideas? Thanks in advance.
Meeting with new issues cannot connect to local MySQL instance using MySQL WorkBench, here are my setup and error, looks access denied and anyone have any ideas?
Most likely the service isn't running or it's looking for the socket in the wrong path.
The /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql call you made is actually the client, not the server/service.
There should be a mysql_safe executable in that same directory -- try calling that first (you may have to be root).
sudo /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe

MySQL not working on Ubuntu 11.04

I run the mysql command at the command line but I get this error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I've Googled a lot but I'm unable to resolve the issue.
Please HELP!
It sounds like mysql isn't running. This will tell you if it is or not:
sudo netstat -tap | grep mysql
That's because the path you specified doesnt have the socket required to connnect to the mysql. This problem has happened with me. Either you can reinstall mysql or search for the mysqld.sock and then move it to the specified directory.
Try running this command to start the mysql server
/etc/init.d/mysql start
/etc/init.d/mysql restart

mysql connection error on rails 2.3.14

I've been trying to work MySQL on Rails 2.3.14. I've to work with Rails2 but i can't work MySQL.
I've setup MySQL with brew according to http://www.frederico-araujo.com/2011/07/30/installing-rails-on-os-x-lion-with-homebrew-rvm-and-mysql/ this tutorial but when i tried to run
$ mysql
i've faced to
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Why?
Thank you.
All right mates.
I got it.
First I killed all mysql process
killall mysqld
and then I uninstalled mysql from brew
$brew uninstall mysql
$brew cleanup
after that I installed mysql again as http://www.frederico-araujo.com/2011/07/30/installing-rails-on-os-x-lion-with-homebrew-rvm-and-mysql/
so I fixed the problem.

Reinstalling MySQL on Ubuntu

MySQL is broken on my Ubuntu OS. It throws the following error:
mysql -u root
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I wasn't able to repair it. So I want to reinstall MySQL. But I didn't find an effective way.
I used sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1,
But after the re-installation, it is still throwing the same error. Any help?
Restart mysqld.
I don't know how I change the passwrod,this may occur when i use some rails app,
in fact i have set a password for mysql,but when i execute rails rake:db:schema:crate, seems it set the password empty
