From: Scott Haneda Date: March 3 2006 8:47pm Subject: Deleted sock file, how can I recover List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/195394 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' I accidentally deleted the above file, I can not connect any new connections in the CLI, old stuff seems to still be ok. I can not seem to shut down the server, as that file is needed. Any way I can recreate it, and what do I put in it? I can force kill the server and I am guessing it would all come back up ok, but there must be a gentler way? -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Haneda Tel: 415.898.2602 Novato, CA U.S.A.
