# "Can't Connect To Local MySQL Server Through Socket '/Var/Run/Mysqld/Mysqld.Sock' (2)" on Docker ?

Do you face an issue whereas you can't connect to MySQL? Try to check `domysqld.sock` and `mysqld.pid` exist or not. If not, inside the docker terminal, run these commands :

```
sudo touch /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
sudo touch /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
sudo chmod -R 644 /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
```

Then, restart mysql service :
```
sudo service mysql restart
```

---

Still, if your mysql can’t connect to mysql. Run this method and restart the service of mysql (maybe you also need to restart the container if still can’t connect to mysql) :
```
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /var/lib/mysql /var/run/mysqld
```
