Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 解决方法

 

最近我的ubuntu系统sudo装的数据库出现问题，迫于无奈重装，重装启动后用mysql命令客户端连接，出现如下提示：

[LING mysql]$ <span style="">mysql -u root -p</span>

Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

 我的my.cnf如下：

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
<span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: x-small;">socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock</span>

user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1

[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
port=3307

 进入/var/lib/mysql下，发现mysql.sock存在，但/var/run/mysqld下没有mysqld.sock，灵机一动，可以通过软链接的方式使用/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock：

[ROOT mysqld]$ <span style="">ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock</span>

[ROOT mysqld]$ mysqld_safe --log-error=/var/lib/mysql/error.log &

 做链接并启动mysql，查看error.log，如下：

[ROOT mysql]$ <span style="color: #ff0000;">more error.log </span>

 重新链接，成功了！
