Termux-packages: MariaDB [MySQL]: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp/mysqld.sock' (2)

[igs00n]

Everytime I execute mysql this error always pop up (
Errror 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp/mysqld.sock' (2))
I tried using the recommended solution from a github user by creating my.cnf.d directory and executing mysqld_safe_install and mysqld_safe -u root & but still the problem will repeat repeat once I close the terminal. Any work arounds?

You haven't started mysql server. Execute something like

and only then try mysql.

@rawagent09 Ensure that server is running before trying to connect ;)

Before using client, you need to ensure that server is running, right? If mysqld_safe is not running, then you need to start it.
