[opensuse] Mysql cannot find /var/run/mysql/mysql.sock

23 Mar 2014

      Hi Folks!
I hav a question with regard to mysql: I want to change the password, 
but everything i try with mysql brings out the same error:

    benji@linux-hy7i:~> mysql -u root
    ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
    socket '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

What is going wrong here? Actually the Deamon is already running:

    benji@linux-hy7i:~> ps -ef|grep mysqld
    benji     4974   590  0 17:40 pts/1    00:00:00 grep --color=auto mysqld
    benji    32740 32737  0 10:49 ?        00:00:22 /usr/sbin/mysqld
    --defaults-file=/home/benji/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf
    --datadir=/home/benji/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/
    --socket=/tmp/akonadi-benji.Du9H1E/mysql.socket

Thanks for help!! Benjamin.
