Either the socket has been removed or is in a different location than you
think. Try connecting by host and port. I would also verify with a database
restart that the socket is being created where you think it is. If you
continue to have issues look over this page to see if it helps.

Subject: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
Hi,
Iam getting the error "Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket" whenever Iam trying to start mysql prompt.
Kindly Help. Following is the trace. Iam using an Unix Solaris8.
svtlab7/opt/mysql/bin% mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
svtlab7/opt/mysql/bin% ls /tmp/mysql.sock
/usr/local/bin/ls: /tmp/mysql.sock: No such file or directory
svtlab7/opt/mysql/bin% ps -aef | grep mysqld
root 16448 16422 0 12:23:59 pts/5 0:00 grep mysqld
root 9848 1 0 Aug 14 ? 0:00 /bin/sh ./bin/safe_mysqld
--defaults-extra-file=/opt/ALAams/ams4.4.7/config/mys
root 9866 9848 0 Aug 14 ? 0:01 /opt/mysql/bin/mysqld
--defaults-extra-file=/opt/ALAams/ams4.4.7/config/mysql.c
svtlab7/opt/mysql/bin%
It seems the mysqld is running, but still Iam getting "Can't connect to
local MySQL server through socket " error
thanks,
