    Missing Mysql.sock

    Hi

    I am getting the error message below when trying to start mysql in WHM. I have tried to look for myslq.sock with "whereis" and "slocate" but I still cannot find it.

    Please help

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "Warning, no valid mysql.sock file found.mysql has failed").
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Log into the shell :

    And place this in the /etc/my.cnf


    [mysqld]
    datadir=/var/lib/mysql
    skip-locking
    skip-innodb
    query_cache_limit=1M
    query_cache_size=64M
    query_cache_type=1
    max_connections=300
    interactive_timeout=100
    wait_timeout=100
    connect_timeout=10
    thread_cache_size=64
    key_buffer=128
    join_buffer=1M
    max_allowed_packet=16M
    table_cache=256
    record_buffer=1M
    sort_buffer_size=2m
    record_buffer=1M
    sort_buffer_size=2m
    read_buffer_size=2m
    read_rnd_buffer_size=768k
    max_connect_errors=10
    thread_concurrency=4
    myisam_sort_buffer_size=64M


    This should optmize mysql and fix the socket issue as you restart the mysql server from the shell.

    Else paste the error from the shell.

    You can also try this command :

    # /usr/local/cpanel/bin/sqlsocketcheck

    Then 'service mysql start'
