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

I noticed this issue when my Wordpress server started throwing aa MySQL error. To try to debug Wordpress, I attempted to connect manually.

I get the following:

$ mysql -u root -p -h localhost -P 3306                                                                                                                                         
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/bitnami/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

I've also tried no -h option and 127.0.0.1

It looks like MySQL is running.

$ ps -ef | grep mysql                                                                                                                                                           
mysql    14743     1  0 15:20 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/mysqld
bitnami  14939 13882  0 15:28 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto

mysql-server is installed, but /opt/bitnami/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock does not exist.

It looks like MySQL is listening on the correct port.

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 3306
Trying 127.0.0.1...

Following the suggestion here:

Here are a few choice lines from /opt/bitnami/mysql/data/mysqld.log. It looks like theres a conflict.

Sometimes, all you need is a restart. Try the following.

sudo opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop

Followed by

sudo opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start

You can also do a restart but I have had instances where restarts have not worked but stopping and starting have worked.

Before doing anything first check space. Make sure it is not used 100%

df -h

enter image description here

If space is available.

For Chcecking Mysql is running or not.

ps xufa | grep mysql

Restart mysql

sudo service bitnami restart mysql

The issue is that you already have a mysql server running which is not the bitnami one. You should stop that service first before start the mysql server from bitnami.

You can try to stop with:

$ sudo service mysql stop

If it doesn't work you can kill the process:

$ sudo kill 14743

And finally start the bitnami mysql server with this command:

$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start mysql

After this server is running you should be able to connect without problems.
