Question
MySQL is broken on my Ubuntu OS. It throws the following error:
mysql -u root
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
I wasn't able to repair it. So I want to reinstall MySQL. But I didn't find an effective way.
I used sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1
,
But after the re-installation, it is still throwing the same error. Any help?
Solution 2
I don't know how I change the passwrod,this may occur when i use some rails app, in fact i have set a password for mysql,but when i execute rails rake:db:schema:crate, seems it set the password empty
OTHER TIPS
Restart mysqld.
