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

我在源码编译安装mysql后，虽然mysql服务可以正常启动，但是当我直接执行mysql后，出现了错误。

错误提示如下：

[root@server98 ~]# mysql

ERROR2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

出现错误原因：

由于mysql默认的mysql.sock是在/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock，但linux系统总是去/tmp/mysql.sock查找，所以会报错。

[root@server98 ~]# find / -namemysql.sock

/usr/local/mysql/data/mysql.sock

解决方法如下：
1.直接指定mysql通道

[root@server98 ~]# mysql--socket=/usr/local/mysql/data/mysql.sock

2.创建符号链接（软链接）

为mysql.sock增加软链接（相当与Windows下的快捷方式）

[root@server98 tmp]#ln -s/usr/local/mysql/data/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

[root@server98 ~]# mysql
