    Solved the issue

    enabling the following two InnoDB directives in your “/etc/mysql/my.cnf” file appears to have resolved this issue:

    default-storage-engine=innodb
default-table-type=innodb

    When restarting your MySQL server, there appears to have been some lingering processes so the “mysqld.sock” file wasn’t being created correctly. As you saw in Lish, I forcefully killed the lingering processes using the “kill” command, and then restarted MySQL normally with “service mysql start” which allowed the “mysqld.sock” file to be created.
