Yosemite - MAMP - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

I have problem when I try to connect to MySQL MAMP :

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

I'm doing research but I have not found a solution to my problem, I try to link mysql.sock like this :

sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock

But, the file /tmp/mysql.sock doesn't exist.

Do you have any ideas ? The problem is blocking me for 2 days, I searched for this time but nothing good for me.

Thanks in advance,

In some cases /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock.lock may create the problem. remove .lock and it will work (OSX)

In case this helps anyone, I got past this roadblock by:

  1. Stopping all other versions of MySQL (I forgot that I had Oracle MySQL starting on system launch and I was attempting to connect via that installation.) and removing them anyway to let MAMP handle it.
    Use sudo launchctl unload -F /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.oracle.oss.mysql.mysqld.plist
  2. Ensure MAMP is running.
  3. Running /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql.

I had the same problem after upgrading MySQL on MAMP from 5.5 to 5.6 version. After long research I founded this decision https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/32402/drush-and-mysql-database-with-mamp-connection-problem

In my case there was no socket file at that location /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock.

The easy solution is to create a symlink:

cd /tmp
ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock ./mysql.sock

The effect of which is to route all calls for /tmp/mysql.sock to the appropriate MAMP specific path.

Also check to make sure MySql is running. You can get this error if you try to use MySql from the command line when MAMP/MySql is not running.

I had the same problem. I solved it following these steps:

  1. I stopped and restarted MySQL via System Preferences -> MySQL (see also https://stackoverflow.com/a/26523977/204807)
  2. I entered sudo mysql_upgrade in a terminal window, and pressed enter

After the update process I was able to connect with my MySQL.

Rename .sock file of mysql and restart your MySQL server.

/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock to /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql_old.sock
