ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

在安装好了MySQL之后，使用了新的配置文件后，MySQL服务器可以成功启动，但在登陆的时候出现了ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket，即无法通过socket连接到mysql服务器，同时提供了socket文件的位置。下面是这个问题的描述与解决办法。

1、故障现象
[root@SZDB mysqldata]# mysql -uroot -p123456
Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/data/mysqldata/mysql.sock’ (111)

故障环境

[root@SZDB mysqldata]# more /etc/issue
CentOS release 5.9 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m

2、故障分析

查看mysql实例的状态

[root@SZDB mysqldata]# netstat -ntlp | grep 3306
tcp 0 0 :::3306 :::* LISTEN 13001/mysqld

查看my.cnf关于socket的配置

[root@SZDB mysqldata]# more /etc/my.cnf |grep sock
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock

由上可知my.cnf中定义的为/tmp目录下，而错误提示为/data/mysqldata/目录下

也就是说mysqld已经声称了正确的sock文件，但客户端连接还是从初始目录去找sock文件

下面查看后台日志，有个ERROR，是关于满查询日志的，是由于目录不存在而产生的错误，与当前故障无关

[root@SZDB mysqldata]# more SZDB.err

3、解决故障
a、通过配置my.cnf mysql选项socket文件位置解决

先停止mysql服务器

[root@SZDB mysqldata]# service mysqld stop
Shutting down MySQL.[ OK ]

修改my.cnf，如下

[root@SZDB mysqldata]# vi /etc/my.cnf
[mysql]
no-auto-rehash
socket = /tmp/mysql.sock #添加该行

重启mysql服务器

[root@SZDB mysqldata]# service mysqld start
Starting MySQL..[ OK ]

再次连接正常

[root@SZDB mysqldata]# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:
mysql> show variables like ‘version’;
+—————+————+
| Variable_name | Value |
+—————+————+
| version | 5.6.12-log |
+—————+————+

b、为socket文件建立链接方式
[root@SZDB mysqldata]# ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /data/mysqldata/mysql.sock
ln: creating symbolic link /data/mysqldata/mysql.sock' to/tmp/mysql.sock’: File exists
[root@SZDB mysqldata]# rm mysql.sock #上面提示文件存在，所以删除之前的mysql.sock文件
[root@SZDB mysqldata]# ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /data/mysqldata/mysql.sock
[root@SZDB mysqldata]# ls -hltr mysql.sock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 11 14:00 mysql.sock -> /tmp/mysql.sock
[root@SZDB mysqldata]# mysql -uroot -p
Enter password:
mysql> show variables like ‘socket’;
+—————+—————–+
| Variable_name | Value |
+—————+—————–+
| socket | /tmp/mysql.sock |
+—————+—————–+
