 Description   

I have created a symbolic link " ln -s /demarialab1/pocinst/socket/pocinst.sock /tmp/mysql.sock "
and executed mysql_secure_installation script, which went through successfully and ,i removed mysql.sock as " rm /tmp/mysql.sock "
once i remove it i am not able to check if the instance is up and running.

I am creating primary and DR databases on the same server,so i have to remove symbolic link.

Kindly advice.

  • Find a configuration where you don't have to override the socket, e.g. use non-default socket location in your cnf file;
  • use TCP protocol to connect to the database.

can the symbolic link be created under any filesystem other than /tmp ?

it always throws this err when i remove the sym link.
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2 "No such file or directory")

>> can the symbolic link be created under any filesystem other than /tmp ?

Please read MySQL manual in regard to 'socket' option.

Please read MySQL manual in regard to ways to connect to the server

Otherwise, please (again) consider signing up for a support plan and a training course from our partners SkySQL (www.skysql.com)
