在Linux安裝MySQL有時候會出現[mysql]ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) 這樣的錯誤，具體解決辦法如下：

[[email protected] ~]# rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*
[[email protected] ~]# rm /var/lock/subsys/mysqld
rm: remove regular empty file `/var/lock/subsys/mysqld'? y

當用戶在執行mysql時報錯
"ERROR 2002 (HY000): Cant connect to local MySQL server through socket /tmp/mysql.sock (2)"
 
原因是由於mysql 的mysql.sock 預設是在/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock下，但linux系統總是去/tmp/mysql.sock查詢，如果mysql.sock不存在，系統就會報錯。
 
解決辦法：
1.直接指定mysql通道
[[email protected] ~]# find / -name mysql.sock
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[[email protected] ~]# mysql --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2 to server version: 5.0.22
 
Type help; or \h for help. Type \c to clear the buffer.

2. 為mysql.sock建立軟連線(類似快捷方式)
[[email protected] ~]# ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
 
[[email protected] ~]# mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
