Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket homebrew

I recently tried installing MySQL with homebrew (brew install mysql) and when I try to run it I get the following error:

ERROR 2002 (HY00

Answer 1

I faced the same problem on my mac and solved it, by following the following tutorials

But don't forget to kill or uninstall the old version before continuing.

Commands:

brew uninstall mariadb

xcode-select --install

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" - See more at: https://mariadb.com/resources/blog/installing-mariadb-10116-mac-os-x-homebrew#sthash.XQoxRoJp.dpuf

brew doctor

brew update

brew info mariadb

brew install mariadb

mysql_install_db

mysql.server start
