Getting this annoying error?
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
If you installed MySQL through Homebrew, you can restart the server via:
$ /usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.17/bin/mysql.server restart
ERROR! MySQL server PID file could not be found!
Starting MySQL
..... SUCCESS!
Or simply:
$ mysql.server restart
