title: Why mysql server is not starting on Solaris 10?
body: <p>My production server is down due to error on <code>Mysql</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (95)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also in my production log it shows the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Started GET "/" for 50.18.57.7 at 2013-06-20 08:21:27 +0000
  
  Mysql2::Error (Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (146)):
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried many options like:</p>
  
  <p><code>"svcs *mysql* "</code> </p>
  
  <p>Also try using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>svcadm refresh|disable/enable|restart mysql
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But nothing happens. My precious data is lost. My production server of rails application is down.</p>
  
  <p>In My rails application I am using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Ruby 1.9.2p180 
  Rails 3.0.5 
  Phusion Passenger version 3.0.17 
  Apache version 2.2.19 
  Mysql version 5.5.13
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In my rails application.</p>
