MySQL 8.0.20 Update
After I updated a Fedora 30 instance, I could no longer connect to the MySQL database. An attempt to connect raised the following error:
Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) |
My guess was correct, the mysqld.service got removed during the update (a synonym for upgrade). So, I ran the following command as a sudoer user:
sudo systemctl enable mysqld.service |
It creates the following symbolic link:
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/mysqld.service → /usr/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service. |
That would start the MySQL Daemon (mysqld) on the next restart of the OS. However, I didn’t want to restart to have access to the service. I simply started it with the following command:
sudo systemctl start mysqld.service |
Then, I could connect to the MySQL database. As always, I hope this helps those looking for a solution.
