ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock'
I accidentally deleted the above file, I can not connect any new connections
in the CLI, old stuff seems to still be ok.
I can not seem to shut down the server, as that file is needed.
Any way I can recreate it,
Shut it down with mysqladmin, from another machine using the -h (host)
option.
When you are using the CLI locally it connects through the socket, but
if you do it from another machine it will use TCP, getting around the
need for the missing socket file.
You may also be able to connect via TCP
