The Ultimate Guide to High Availability with MariaDB

Cannot login into MariaDB

You are viewing an old version of this question. View the current version here.

Hello all! I'm using MacOS Sonoma 14.5 and trying to login in mariadb via terminal. However, when I execute 

mariadb -uroot -password

It is returning

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)

I searched online and the solution to this would be to generate a mysql.sock file by executing

brew services start mariadb
# OR brew services restart mariadb

However, I tried it, as you can see below:

$ brew services restart mariadb
Stopping `mariadb`... (might take a while)
==> Successfully stopped `mariadb` (label: homebrew.mxcl.mariadb)
==> Successfully started `mariadb` (label: homebrew.mxcl.mariadb)

Still, not any mysql.sock file is generated inside the /tmp folder and I can't login in the mariadb database.

victorcosta@Victors-MacBook-Pro:/tmp $ cd /tmp
victorcosta@Victors-MacBook-Pro:/tmp $ ls
com.apple.launchd.6mj6GfdTiF powerlog

So, how can I connect to mariadb using mariadb -uroot -password ?
