[root@monkey etc]# mysql -uroot
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[root@monkey etc]#


Help..

I did a killall mysqld / killall safemysqld

When i do /sbin/service mysqld start

nothing happends

Please Help ASAP!
 
Normaly this error indicates that mysqld isn't running. So I would recommend to check the /var/log/messages and check if there are any errors when starting mysqld:

just run: mysqld

this will normaly show the error!

MySQL Still wont Start!!!

mySQL works fine in last version.. version number 1.22.0 since i upgraded da to version 1.23.1 (crap) everything went to garbage, Now everytthing starts, and stops on its own, I still get this error when trying to start mysql:

[root@monkey customapache]# su mysql
bash-2.05b$ mysqld
041124 18:38:53 Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use
041124 18:38:53 Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?
041124 18:38:53 Aborting

041124 18:38:53 mysqld: Shutdown Complete

bash-2.05b$ exit
exit

I have tried killall -9 mysqld safe_mysqld

I even do look in /var/log/messages No error logs from mysql..

Click to expand...

do a:

ps -e | grep mysqld
Click to expand...

Then kill the process ID.
 
Same Issue

ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (

in DA under Mysql

But da shows the service is working and there are pids ??
 
I have the same problem here.
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
Nothing is happening... :(
In DA panel it's say everything is running, but that is NOT.
I have php-mysql-4.2.2-17
 
This could be due to change in the location of the mysql.sock (for example when updating mysql)

# updatedb
# locate mysql.sock


OR

find / | grep mysql.sock

This location should be the same as described in you're my.cnf of mysql (config file)

the mysql.sock is created when the deamon is started! If it doesn't exists than you're deamon isn't running ;)

If it says that the port is in use then there MUST be a process running on that port!

use netstat to find out if it is in use and an app is listening on that port.
 
locate mysql.sock > it's here /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
====
This is my /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
set-variable=max_connections=300
set-variable = wait_timeout=30

[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib

[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

Still DA says Mysql is running, but now sites are working with Mysql.
 
In /etc/my.cnf i had this:
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
But now i put this:
socket=/tmp/mysql.sock

All database websites are online again.

I hope DA Support check this out before we do a update.
Because with SSH i got this:
rpm -qa | grep mysql
php-mysql-4.2.2-17

But in /var/log/mysqld.log i see this:
Version: '4.0.16-standard' socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' port: 3306

Hope i help some one out there.. :)

Uhhm, correct me if wrong but, MySQL are separate rpm's from PHP normally.
PHP would have been installed from source with the custombuilder, while MySQL is an rpm.
Furthermore 4.0.16 is kinda outdated...

But as it's working now, I'll just hit the submit button and start working on my own stuff again :)
