Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket homebrew

Question

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 had same problem. After trying all these methods without success I did the following:

tail -f the-mysql-or-maria-db-error-file.err

in another console:

brew services restart mariadb

I saw the following error:

"MAC HOMEBREW Crash recovery failed. Either correct the problem (if it's, for example, out of memory error) and restart, or delete tc log and start mysqld with"

So I changed the tc.log extesion to tc.log.txt and restart mariadb

brew services restart mariadb

and done!
