解决Linux MySQL报错ERROR 2002

---------------------------------1---------------------------------

在Linux安装MySQL有时候会出现[mysql]ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) 这样的错误，具体解决办法如下：

[root@www ~]# rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/*
[root@www ~]# rm /var/lock/subsys/mysqld
rm: remove regular empty file `/var/lock/subsys/mysqld'? y
[root@www ~]# killall mysqld
[root@www ~]#  service mysqld start
[root@www ~]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld status
mysqld (pid 5457) is running...

---------------------------------2---------------------------------

[root@r710-1 /]# mysql -u root

[root@r710-1 /]# vi /etc/my.cnf

当用户在执行mysql时报错
"ERROR 2002 (HY000): Cant connect to local MySQL server through socket /tmp/mysql.sock (2)"
 
原因是由于mysql 的mysql.sock 默认是在/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock下，但linux系统总是去/tmp/mysql.sock查找，如果mysql.sock不存在，系统就会报错。
 
解决办法：
1.直接指定mysql通道
[root@localhost ~]# find / -name mysql.sock
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[root@localhost ~]# mysql --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 2 to server version: 5.0.22
 
Type help; or \h for help. Type \c to clear the buffer.

2. 为mysql.sock创建软连接(类似快捷方式)
[root@localhost ~]# ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /tmp/mysql.sock
 
[root@localhost ~]# mysql
