My problem started off with mạ not being able đồ sộ log in as root any more on my mysql install. I was attempting đồ sộ lập cập mysql without passwords turned on... but whenever I ran the command
# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
I would never get the prompt back. I was trying đồ sộ follow these instructions đồ sộ recover the password.
The screen just looks lượt thích this:
root@jj-SFF-PC:/usr/bin# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
120816 11:40:53 mysqld_safe Logging đồ sộ syslog.
120816 11:40:53 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
and I don't get a prompt đồ sộ start typing the SQL commands đồ sộ reset the password.
When I kill it by pressing CTRL + C, I get the following message:
error: 'Can't connect đồ sộ local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
If I retry the command and leave it long enough, I vì thế get the following series of messages:
root@jj-SFF-PC:/run/mysqld# 120816 13:15:02 mysqld_safe Logging đồ sộ syslog.
120816 13:15:02 mysqld_safe Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql
120816 13:16:42 mysqld_safe mysqld from pid tệp tin /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid ended
[1]+ Done mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
root@jj-SFF-PC:/run/mysqld#
But then if I try đồ sộ log in as root by doing:
# mysql -u root
I get the following error message:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect đồ sộ local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I checked and /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
tệp tin doesn't not exist. The thư mục does, but not the tệp tin.
Also, I don't know if this helps or not, but I ran find / -name mysqld
and it came up with:
/var/run/mysqld - folder
/usr/sbin/mysqld - file
/run/mysqld - folder
I don't know if this is normal or not. But I'm including this info just in case it helps.
I finally decided đồ sộ uninstall and reinstall mysql.
apt-get remove mysql-server
apt-get remove mysql-client
apt-get remove mysql-common
apt-get remove phpmyadmin
After reinstalling all packages again in the same order as above, during the phpmyadmin install, I got the same error:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect đồ sộ local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
So I tried again đồ sộ uninstall/reinstall. This time, after I uninstalled the packages, I also manually renamed all mysql files and directories đồ sộ mysql.bad
in their respective locations.
/var/lib/mysql
/var/lib/mysql/mysql
/var/log/mysql
/usr/lib/perl5/DBD/mysql
/usr/lib/perl5/auto/DBD/mysql
/usr/lib/mysql
/usr/bin/mysql
/usr/share/mysql
/usr/share/dbconfig-common/internal/mysql
/etc/init.d/mysql
/etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/mysql
/etc/mysql
Then I tried đồ sộ reinstall mysql-server
and mysql-client
again. But I've noticed that it doesn't prompt mạ for a password. Isn't it supposed đồ sộ ask for an admin password?
