I’ve recently updated to the newest version of Mac OS (Sequoia 15.0) and I couldn’t start MySQL with the usual “mysql -u root -p”. I know I’m typing in the right password. It brings up the same error message every time:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
I’ve looked into the tmp folder and there’s no mysql.sock in there. I tried deleting MySQL altogether with brew uninstall --force mysql
and installing it again with homebrew. I also have MySQL Workbench on my computer and it’s telling me that the server is stopped. Also, MySQL doesn’t show up in System Preferences. At this point, I don’t really know what to do. Any suggestions?
