Yosemite - MAMP - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)

Question

I have problem when I try to connect to MySQL MAMP :

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql

I had the same problem. I solved it following these steps:

1. I stopped and restarted MySQL via System Preferences -> MySQL (see also https://stackoverflow.com/a/26523977/204807)
2. I entered sudo mysql_upgrade in a terminal window, and pressed enter

After the update process I was able to connect with my MySQL.
