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

 1、今天安装了一个mysql 5.7 的二进制安装方式，在连接mysql数据库的时候报了如下错误：

[root@iccsdb01 mysql]# mysql 

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

2、根据提示应该是sock文件不在，通过查看进程配置，发现如下

[root@iccsdb01 bin]# ps -ef | grep mysql

root      9196  3125  0 11:18 pts/2    00:00:00 tail -f mysqld.log

root     11404     1  0 14:13 pts/1    00:00:00 /bin/sh /home/mysql/sysinfo/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe --datadir=/my_data/sysinfo --pid-file=/my_data/sysinfo/iccsdb01.pid

mysql    11616 11404  0 14:13 pts/1    00:00:00 /home/mysql/sysinfo/mysql/bin/mysqld --basedir=/home/mysql/sysinfo/mysql --datadir=/my_data/sysinfo --plugin-dir=/home/mysql/sysinfo/mysql/lib/plugin --user=mysql --log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log --pid-file=/my_data/sysinfo/iccsdb01.pid --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

由上可知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

解决方法一

1、创建连接文件到指定目录上

ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock  /tmp/mysql.sock

2、测试连接成功登陆

[root@iccsdb01 /]# mysql -u root -p

Enter password:

解决方法二

　　修改“/etc/my.cnf”配置文件，在配置文件中添加“[client]”选项和“[mysql]”选项，并使用这两个选项下的“socket”参数值，与“[mysqld]”选项下的“socket”参数值，指向的socket文件路径完全一致。如下： 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

[mysqld] datadir = / my_data / sysinfo socket = / var / lib / mysql / mysql.sock ...省略n行...    [client] default - character - set = utf8 socket = / var / lib / mysql / mysql.sock    [mysql] default - character - set = utf8 socket = / var / lib / mysql / mysql.sock

修改完后，重启mysqld服务，即可解决此问题。
