linux下mysql无法启动的处理

$ mysql -u root

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

查了下mysql状态，是真正运行中

$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld  status
mysqld (pid  2873) 正在运行...

继续查看mysql进程

ps aux |grep mysql
root      2765  0.0  0.0 108200  1448 ?        S    Mar09   0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/home/mysql --socket=/home/mysql/mysql.sock --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --basedir=/usr --user=mysql
mysql     2873  0.3  0.1 7949156 66076 ?       Sl   Mar09 244:06 /usr/libexec/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/home/mysql --user=mysql --log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log --pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid --socket=/home/mysql/mysql.sock
root      9173  0.0  0.0 103260   872 pts/1    S+   10:30   0:00 grep mysql

估计是默认socket有问题

$mysql --socket=/home/mysql/mysql.sock -u root -p
