“Could not create unix socket lock file” with MySQL 5.7.10 on OS X 10.11.2












2















I've been trying to install MySQL 5.7 on OS X El Capitan using Homebrew, however when it came to getting the server up and running, I cannot seem to get a lock file created.



When I run mysqld_safe, it logs errors to a file and the only relevant message that I saw was this:



2015-12-13T19:48:09.270970Z 0 [ERROR] Could not create unix socket lock file /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock.lock.



Looking at the configuration, if I run mysql_config | grep -- --socket, I see this:



--socket [/tmp/mysql.sock]



It seems that the socket is getting created for a split second, but if it tries to make the lock file, it aborts. What is going on?

          I think this is a bug in mysql 5.7.



          In my case, I am building a docker container. I went ahead and changed the version of mysql I installed to 5.6 through apt-get and it fixed the issue immediately.



          apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties
          add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu trusty universe'
          apt-get update
          apt-get install mysql-client-5.6 mysql-server-5.6


          Hope this helps.
