MySQL hanged after LoadTest. Error 2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)

Question

I had a project running on my server. I ran "LoadTest" and it hanged my MySQL server. Now I cannot connect to the server via UI. If I try restart via command line, then also getting error "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/path/mysql/mysqld.sock'.

I checked the path, it is correct and mysqld.sock also exist.

What should I do to make server running up again? Please help me!!

Thanks.

MySql itself shouldn't be "hanging" - I'm not sure exactly what you did, or what the root cause is.

Q: Have you recycled the OS? Did everything come up after recycle?

Q: What IS the OS? Windows? Linux? What version?

Q: Have you checked the MySql and OS event logs for errors?
