I recently did an ispconfig_update.sh and ran into problems: Code: Unable to connect to mysql server No such file or directory MySQL root password [xxxxxxx]: The problem it turns out is that my socket file path is (my.cnf): Code: [mysqld] socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock The updater seems to be hard coded to look for it in: /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock I was able to complete the update by doing: Code: mkdir -p /var/run/mysqld chown mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld ln -s /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/run/mysqld/. The initial installation was done using The Perfect Server - CentOS 7.1 with some modification necessary for CentOS 7.2. I've noted that the /var/run/mysqld directory is deleted at each reboot. This was one reason that in the my.cnf file I'm using a more stable location for the mysql.sock file. I would think the update script should consult the my.cnf file to obtain the socket path. Is there something I can modify so that this problem won't happen the next time I need to update?
