Missing mysql.sock file

I updated MySQL with yum.

And it doesn’t start now.

I try find / | grep mysql.sock.

I can’t see any sock file.

How can I create it? Or any possible solution?

Thanks.

It sounds like mysqld isn’t running at all. Be sure to remove the invalid/old options from /etc/my.cnf and then check in the log that mysqld starts correctly.
