Can't run MySQL on Mac

Question

I've tried install LAMP to my Mac using this tutorial . I've installed MySQL from official site to my Mac (OS X El Capitan 10.11.3). I've written aliases for mysql and mysqladmin in .bash_profile. So when I try type mysql command it responses me with
error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (38) .

I've typed perror 38 and got next: Socket operation on non-socket. What's wrong?

Answer 1

I think mysql server is not running. Start it by

sudo /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server start and try again.

Make sure it is running by (sometimes mysqld will get killed if there is any error)

ps aux | grep mysql
