I can't connect to MySQL getting Error #2002 after I updated php

I'm on a mac and I updated my version of PHP and installed the GD library.
The problem is that I needed up date my connection to the database or something to that affect so I ran this command line:
sudo mkdir /var/mysql
sudo ln -s /private/tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
And it worked... but then I restarted my computer and now I can't connect and I'm getting the error I had of...
#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)
So I tried the above two lines of code and it said those files/directory exist.
I went into /etc/php.ini file to change this mysql.default_socket = /var/mysql/mysql.sock
So what do I need to do here to change this permanently?

  • HT204291 can see airplay icon but getting error -15000 after I updated to itunes 11.4

    Airplay quit working after I updated itunes to v. 11.04. I can see the airplay icon in both the mini-player and home screen. It shows the device in the listings but when I select it I receive unknown error -15000. All was fine until the upgrade. I'm running Windows 7. Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem? Thanks.

    Hi Monie35,
    The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
    Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots. 
    I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
    Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
    Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings ]]> Wi-Fi.
    Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • Can't connect to mysql - unidentified error

    I am new at this.  I created a PHP page and I want to connect to mysql on my host's server.  I can connect to my server as I can upload my site.   When I click on my database - MYSQL connection in dreamweaver I populate the appropriate informatioin.     When I hit test I get an unidentified error  It doesn't appear it is connecting to my database.   My cpanal and database appear to be set up so I can access it remotely.
    YUUGGG.   Since I can connect to my server to upload my site, I have verified I should be ok with accessing the database remotely what could be the problem?

    Connection name = database
    MySQL server: 174.120.152.211 (I was told to use this by my hosting company since I was accessing the file remotely
    Use name:  jake_jake
    Password - password for database
    datebase = database name
    What's weired is I can connect to upload my site but when I try to connect to get my database I can't. 

  • Help! Can't connect to internet or reset clock after Java update.

    Software update just installed the update Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_20 on my Mac Mini with Snow Leopard 10.6.3. After the restart I got a warning: "Your computer's clock is set to a date before Jan. 1, 2008. This may cause some applications to behave erratically." NO Kidding!
    Immediately after that warning window appears another one comes up saying "None of your preferred networks is available" and it shows the listing of all the internet network names in my area. If I select mine (which is listed AND is available because I'm using it with my other computer right now) I can't click on the "join" button because it's "grayed out".
    If I go to "Network Diagnostics" and attempt to connect through there it rejects my WPA password. WHY IS IT THAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH SETTING THIS UP ALL OVER AGAIN ANYWAY???
    Also I cannot put in the correct Date and Time in system preferences because it's all grayed out.
    Do I need to uninstall? How? I greatly appreciate your help!!

    "Zapping the PRAM" was something I used to do on my old power mac before OSX. Maybe that's not related to your PRAM battery statement, tho. This is a new Mac Mini, less than a year old. I'm guessing that the problem is with this JAVA update is NOT compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.3, but that was never mentioned in info/details of the update. My Mac was running great online and off before I let the Software Updater install.

  • HT1925 I am unable to start my Itunes and keep getting error messages after an update faiked to load correctly.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled it still getting these messages.  Please Help.

    I am not able to load I Tunes.....I attempted to uograde and now am unable to start Itunes....I uninstalled it and reinstalled no luck. HELP?

    Follow the below procedure if you are using a Windows based PC.   I did not develop it, another forum user did, but I did insert 1 additional step in case you use a 3rd party software package to give your apple devices "Airprint" capability for your non Air Print capable printers (Such as Fingerprint).
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    Remove any 3rd party software which uses Airprint features (such as Fingerprint by Collobos)
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or by right-clicking the downloaded installer and selectingRun as Administrator.

  • Can I connect to MySQL database

    sorry for my English...
    I'm absolutely new in Flex
    can I connect to MySQL database?
    I read here that I need to create a java class file and edit
    an xml to create connection to oracle, can I connect to MySQL
    server too, I think that the PHP-XML is too slow to work with lare
    amounts of data... so can you post me MXML, the XML, and the JAVA
    class file, with I will be able to send sql to mysql server and get
    the response?
    or FDS is a stand-alone SQL server?

    Flex is not a SQL server.
    The Flex SDK and compiler supports developing applications
    that run in the Flash player.
    Flex Data Services is deployed as a Java web application that
    simplifies integrating Flex clients with Java server-side resources
    (including interacting with SQL databases via Java).
    FlexBuilder is an IDE for developing Flex apps.
    I'd recommend spending some time browsing the Flex product
    area on adobe.com.
    Best,

    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

    I was following this adobe article (

    to set up PHP and MySQL and connect a MySQL database to dreamweaver
    in Mac OS 10.4.8 and I kept getting:

    Anyway all I had to do was type (in a TERMINAL window):

    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.

    Dear Al
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have just found out what's wrong. I went to the 'more info' section of my Chitchat application and it took me to a link where it explained that Yahoo Chat has ditched chatting with the Java protocol and chatters can now only chat via the Yahoo Messenger protocol, which is Yahoo Instant Messenger with Voice. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't provide a platform for Yahoo Voice for Macintosh computers. Though the original link I went to provides another link to a thing called 'Adium' from which a Mac can access Yahoo Chat's new protocol, although it's not fully developed yet.
    Oh...and thanks so much for letting me know about the Java update release. I did not know that I have to upgrade my system first to recieve the latest update information.

  • MySQL - Another 'Can't connect through mysql.sock' question...

    Hey, folks.
    So I'm trying to install MySQL to run with PHP on my PowerBook G4 (running 10.4.7, non-server edition) to use it to test out a shopping cart program for a website I'm building.
    I had it working as of Monday, when I installed it, got all the permissions set, built the necessary tables, and changed the root password (and logged in just to make sure it worked before retiring for the night)...but today I realized that I had somehow installed the wrong version of MySQL (I connected to it earlier today and discovered it was 4.026 - and I needed to be running MySQL 4.1.20, in order to be running the same version as my webhost).
    So I decided to upgrade. I downloaded and installed the 4.1.20 file, followed the directions about creating the system tables, changed permissions via sudo chown -R mysql:mysql data...and now, when I go to change the root user password (just to make sure it's still the same as it was), I get the following error:
    error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
    Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock' exists!
    This error also occurs when I try to simply startup MySQL. I also now find I can't connect via MySQL Admin, either - it gives me the same error. Pinging the host works, however.
    Sooo...anyone have any ideas? I've read up on the forums re: Apple changing the socket to /var/mysql/mysql.sock as of 10.4.4, but it seems that would have affected me earlier this week when I was running the previous version of MySQL, too (I certainly haven't upgraded the OS since then).
    Regardless, I can't connect through MySQL Admin using the /var/mysql/mysql.sock socket, anyway...nor the standard /tmp/mysql.sock.
    Any thoughts on what might be causing this? I should confess, I'm well-versed in DOS (ugh), but UNIX is not really my strong suit, so I'm still figuring out how to get around in the Terminal...
    Thanks so much for any input you can give me!
    (Oh, one more thing, since it'll probably come up - I'm not currently connecting via PHP, but I will be eventually. Right now, I just want to be able to change my root password, and login from the Terminal)!
    Thanks again!\

    Alright, folks.
    Somehow my computer has fixed itself. After wiping the mysql directories entirely, then reinstalling, I was still getting the same error.
    After going back to the original "MySQL-On-Mac" site at Marc Liyanage's entropy.ch site & following some of the instructions there, somehow my problem seems to have fixed itself.
    I wish I could tell you what the solution was (to benefit anyone else having this problem), but since I was simply following the unix commands listed there (without much explanation, at times, as to what they were doing), I just know that somehow it worked.
    (But if I had to make a guess, I think it had to do with starting the server via sudo ./bin/mysqld_safe &)...

  • Can't connect to cloud.. error message.

    Ever since I did the Lollipop update on my Galaxy S5 I'm getting this error message: "Warning! we can't connect to the coud service at this time. Please check your data servic e and try again". This is happening CONSTANTLY. Sometimes every five minutes if I'm using my phone.
    I'm connected to WiFi and data, so I don't understand why I keep getting this error message or how to make it stop. Anyone have suggestions?
