Mysql.sock Problem ( mysqld.sock' (2) )

[kilburn]

So, you changed the socket path from "/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock" to "/var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock" in your /etc/mysql/my.cnf file. Nevertheless:

1. You forgot to update /etc/mysql/debian.cnf as stated in the my.cnf file (see the following for reference

Code:

# Remember to edit /etc/mysql/debian.cnf when changing the socket location.
[client]
port            = 3306
socket          = /var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock

2. Are you sure that the /var/run/mysql folder exists and is owned by the mysql user/group? I bet it doesn't

Anyway, why did you choose to change the socket path to begin with?
