ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL

安装mac版的mysql后，启动mysql 报错：

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

解决方法：

参考文档：

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-macosx-excerpt/5.0/en/macosx-installation.html

After the installation, you can start up MySQL by running the following
commands in a terminal window. You must have administrator privileges
to perform this task.

If you have installed the Startup Item, use this command:

shell> sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start
 (ENTER YOUR PASSWORD, IF NECESSARY)
 (PRESS CONTROL-D OR ENTER "EXIT" TO EXIT THE SHELL)

 

If you don't use the Startup Item, enter the following command sequence:

shell> cd /usr/local/mysql
shell> sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe
 (ENTER YOUR PASSWORD, IF NECESSARY)
 (PRESS CONTROL-Z)
shell> bg

   (PRESS CONTROL-D OR ENTER "EXIT" TO EXIT THE SHELL)

You should be able to connect to the MySQL server, for example, by
running `/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql'.

 

完成上面的命令后，启动mysql成功
