Answer 1

Sometimes you may got several solution for location path of mysql.lock. But I think the best solution is just see the location path of mysql using php phpinfo() function.

Note: if you are not familar with phpinfo(), then just create a file give any name and include content of that file like this

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

run this file and get the path of mysql.lock file. I think it will help.

Answer 2

The problem for me was the mysql.default_socket setting in PHP.INI defaults to a different location than where MySQL actually puts that file.

Instead of editing the config files, I created an alias in the location that PHP is looking that connects to the real mysql.sock.

Just run these two commands (no restart needed):

mkdir /var/mysql
ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock

Too late but I hope it can help someone.

Just today I fall into a similar situation (but in other context, I was trying to create entities from db).

I solved it simply modifying de database_host from "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" in the parameters.ini file.

I think my Mysql instance is running only via TCP and not socket and because this when use database_host="localhost" it fails.

Answer 4

I changed 'host'=> 'localhost' to 'host'=> '127.0.0.1' on app/config/database.php and everything is working correctly

Answer 5

Had the same issue "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] No such file or directory" on symfony 3.2.9 on deployment

I fixed it by changing the database_host value from "localhost" to my server IP on my parameters.yml file

but I had this another error message when trying to run commandline by SSH:

[Doctrine\DBAL\Exception\ConnectionException] An exception occured in driver: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused

I finaly fix it by adding these 2 lines on my config.yml file in Doctrine configuration section :

unix_socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
server_version: '5.5'

all my final doctrine configuration is like this:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver: pdo_mysql
        host: '%database_host%'
        port: '%database_port%'
        dbname: '%database_name%'
        user: '%database_user%'
        password: '%database_password%'
        unix_socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
        server_version: '5.5'
        charset: UTF8

hopefully this helps

Answer 6

I think just restart the mysql, and apache, that's work for me.
