2 停止mysql服务
[root@mysql var]# /etc/init.d/mysqld stop
Shutting down MySQL.... SUCCESS!


3 安全模式启动
[root@mysql var]# mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &

7 其他形式的错误情况分析

7.1 找不到sock 报错 ：

[root@app60 mysqld]#  /usr/bin/mysql -uroot -p
Enter password: 
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)
[root@app60 mysqld]# 

登陆的时候加上sock参数就OK了。

[root@app60 mysqld]#  /usr/bin/mysql -uroot -p --socket=/opt/mysqldata/mysql.sock
Enter password:

[分析]：不能写入默认的pid文件，就 修改 /etc/init.d/mysqld，把pid指向别的路经

[root@app60 mysqld]# vi /etc/init.d/mysqld

.....

get_mysql_option mysqld datadir "/var/lib/mysql"
datadir="$result"
get_mysql_option mysqld socket "$datadir/mysql.sock"
socketfile="$result"
get_mysql_option mysqld_safe log-error "/var/log/mysqld.log"
errlogfile="$result"
get_mysql_option mysqld_safe pid-file "/opt/mysqldata/mysqld.pid"    # '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid' 原始值,这里修改成别的路径/opt/mysqldata/mysqld.pid
mypidfile="$result"

.....

然后启动mysqld服务，OK，成功了。
