mysql.sock的作用是server和client在同一台服务器，并且使用localhost进行链接的时候，就会使用socket来进行连接——仅此而已

也就是：为主机名为localhost建立的MySQL连接，该连接过程通过一个套接字文件mysql.socket实现的。所以该文件被删后，用localhost用户是连接不到MySQL服务器的。

必须建立一条tcp/ip连接，即使用127.0.0.1而不是localhost作为-h的参数去连接MySQL服务器，如：mysqladmin -h 127.0.0.1 -u root -p shutdown，强制地建立一条tcp/ip连接；

关闭MySQL服务器，再重新以localhost为主机名启动MySQL服务器，它就会重新创建一个套接字文件。

查看mysql.sock具体路径：

[root@Wonhigh-Test16 ~]# ps -ef | grep mysql.sock|grep -v "grep"
mysql    31108 30650  0 Sep10 ?        00:03:17 /usr/sbin/mysqld --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/mysql --plugin-dir=/usr/lib64/mysql/plugin --user=mysql --log-error=/var/lib/mysql/Wonhigh-Test16.err --pid-file=/var/lib/mysql/Wonhigh-Test16.pid --socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock --port=3306
[root@Wonhigh-Test16 ~]# 

转移套接字文件 mysql.sock
[root@Wonhigh-Test16 ~]# mv /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql1.sock 

确认本地登录情况
[root@Wonhigh-Test16 ~]# mysql -uroot -p123456
Warning: Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[root@Wonhigh-Test16 ~]#

尝试127.0.0.1 tcp/ip连接（第三方工具远程连接都可以‘连接属性会显示为TCP/IP ’）

[root@Wonhigh-Test16 ~]# mysql -uroot -p123456 -h127.0.0.1

mysql>

 

恢复本地连接

[root@Wonhigh-Test16 ~]# mv /var/lib/mysql/mysql1.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

[root@Wonhigh-Test16 ~]# mysql -uroot -p123456
