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

PHP and Mysql aren't communicating on Mac OSX 10.4 and I
tried changing the location for where PHP looks for the file, but I
can't save in the etc folder. Help?

You mean correctly?

"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'"

Data Services=3.1
Repository=12.2.2.0000
Red Hat Enterprise 5
Designer,Job Server,Job Engine=12.2.2.3
After an unscheduled server reboot with DS up and running when trying to start a job in either Data Services Management Console or DS Designer getting the following:
"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock'"
The mysql.sock have never been in /tmp and on the production server it does not exist there and the production server is up and running correctly. If a link is created to mysql.sock(/home/user/boedge31/bobje/mysql) the job will start but return this message:
"Cannot retrieve <Version> from the repository. Additional database information: <SQL submitted to ODBC data source <localrepo> resulted in error <MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver mysqld-5.0.46-enterprise No database selected>. The SQL submitted is <select VERSION, SECURITYKEY, GUID from AL_VERSION where NAME = 'Repository Version'"
I checked and AL_VERSION and the Version field exist.
Before the shut down DS was working correctly and had no issues. My best guess is a part of the repository was corrupted during the unscheduled shut down. It seems like DS has "forgotten" some of the settings.
Any suggestions on a possible solution?

The issue has been solved.
There was a bad path in $LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Removed the path and DS started working again.

./mysqlshow: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql

hi all ,I install mysql on Solaris 10 at first it work fine , but after I restart my PC and go back again I got error on
./mysqlshow: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql
I google , but still not sure how to deal with it
Thank you

I've just done a clean install of OSX Server and added the latest MYSQL packaged installer. Afterwards I found the lock file in /private/tmp/mysql.lock
The easiest way to solve this problem is to create a symbolic link so that the lock file appears to be in right place.
e.g.
cd /var
sudo mkdir mysql <== this assumes the directory is missing
cd mysql
sudo ln -s /private/tmp/mysql.sock mysql.sock
After this msql commands should work fine, and you've not fiddled with the security settings on users/groups.

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock'

I'm using the pre-installed versions of php and mysql under Mac OS X Server 10.4.4 running on a G4 and am unable to get anything involving mysql to work.
I ssh to the server and enter various commands in Terminal:
on typing "mysql" I get

I'm trying to follow directions at http://www.mantisbugtracker.com/manual/manual.installation.php
without knowing anything about mysql or php and I'm stuck on step 3:
"Next we will create the necessary database tables and a basic configuration
file."
I get a message saying
"Does administrative user have access to the database? ( Lost connection to MySQL server during query )"
I don't even know if following the mantis directions has resulted in the creation of a database or not. Where would it be?

ERROR#: 2002 can't connect to MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock'

I was following this adobe article (
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/php_macintosh.html)
to set up PHP and MySQL and connect a MySQL database to dreamweaver
in Mac OS 10.4.8 and I kept getting:
"Can't connect to MySQL server through socket

After a lot of searching I came across
this
article which said that there was an error in the PHP and MySQL
connection or something.
Anyway all I had to do was type (in a TERMINAL window):
$ sudo mkdir /var/mysql
$ sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
and that fixed the problem, otherwise the adobe article
worked very well.

Can't connect to local web server

I'm not quite sure when this happened; I think it was upgrading to iPhoneOS 3.x but I can't swear to that (currently running 3.1). Anyway, the problem is that, whether from my app or even simply using Safari, I can't connect to a local webserver. If I'm on one computer in my office (working over WiFi just like my iPhone), and type "http://192.168.1.110/file", where 110 is a different computer, Safari will display the page just fine. But if I'm using my iPhone in the office, on the same network, and type the same URL, it will not connect. For SURE this used to work, and I haven't changed any settings on my network or on my iPhone for that matter.
No problem with connecting to external websites, clearly.

Web services are not relevant to DNS host names. You'll need to configure a default domain name for whatever is being used as the local domain, whether that is established via System Preferences or via DHCP settings. If your Windows box is running a DNS server, you'll need to set the Mac DNS resolver address at the Windows DNS server.

I can't connect to a certain server through my airport extreme

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed I could no longer connect to my websites, which are all on the same server.
I can see all other websites I've tried to visit.
It doesn't seem to be a server problem. Everyone else can see the sites fine.
If I connect my computer directly to my router, I can see the sites.
I've tried many computers and phones on my network, and none can see the sites.
Any Ideas?

My ISP is Time Warner Cable.

Your biggest 'issue' right now is that your mysqld process is stopping on you -- making a connection impossible.
Why it's bombing might be in a log .. try in mysql/data/usr.local.err .. and fix why itsbombing.
To connect to it it'll be : mysql -u root -ppassword -D database

Can't connect to Game Center server.

Hello, same issue.
Alternating error messages:
a) GK Error domain error 3
b) Can't connect to Game Center server
The test solutions:
a) Multiple restart and hard restart iPhone
b) Test WiFi and 3G connection
c) Reset password
Error still persists about 3 hours. Maybe it's a coincidence, but the error began to show me the 8.1 update on iPhone 5.

Please help!!

Fascinated and guessing:
Something related to sock(2) because that's not part of your copied info. I'm thinking you've doubled up on sockets and the second socket doesn't exist, meaning you should be connecting to the first socket "mysqld.sock" whether automatic or not.
I've only used GUI tools on purpose, so does this mean you've already got MySQL running and you tried to launch it again manually? Perhaps you already have one instance of a db and you're trying to launch a second instance, and the two can't coexist with a single user local db?
Assuming this is all local, I'd shut down the db service and restart it, out of hand. I've seen similar messages when I set the db to start up on boot, and it didn't finish shutting down when I tried to restart it manually. Usually the GUI won't let me turn it on because it reports it's already running, but in that case it hadn't finished performing what the GUI was reporting.
Just speculating.

Re: Can't connect to X11 window server using 'localhost:0.0'

I get an error that says can't connect to the itunes store when I search for a specific artist only

Hi all,
When I try to search for music by a specific artist in the iTunes store on my iPhone 5, I get an error that says "Can't connect to the iTunes store". This only happens when I search for music by this band. I can search for other artists and listen to song clips and everything seems to be connecting to the iTunes store just fine. But for some reason, it doesn't work with this artist. The band name is July for Kings. Not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but I hope so!
Thanks,
Rick

IF you are not able to resolve your issue then contact Apple Support at https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do?caller=ikb&PRKEYS=PL220,1316 29,PL113,PL302,PF3,PF4,PF9,PL303,PL339,p…
hopefully they can help. You may also be interested to know that for some reason it is just not available to a lot of people at the same time. Appears to be an issue of more users than their servers can handle. Has happened periodically for at least 6 months that I know of but apparently users are able to use within several days if there are no other issues with the users device.

If you logon to the console with a user, only that user is permitted to "send" the display to the screen. If you do an "su - ora<sid>" that user must be enable to do so too.
- logon as root
- open a terminal windows (a new one)
- execute "xhost +"
- use another terminal window
- execute "su - ora<sid>"
- execute "setenv DISPLAY <ip>:<port>"
- then execute ./RUNINSTALLER in the SAP subdirectory of Disk1 (NOT runInstaller)
