I am getting the following error when I try to connect to mysql:
Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock\' (2)<
Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock\' (2)
if you change files in /var/lib/mysql [ like copy or replace that ], you must set owner of files to mysql this is so important if mariadb.service restart has been faild
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql/* chmod -R 700 /var/lib/mysql/*
chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql/*
chmod -R 700 /var/lib/mysql/*
