Missing mysqld.sock

[TGates]

I appreciate your help!  Thanks for the Google links.  One of them them revealed the solution:

Edit mysql config file by doing the below: sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf and add tc-heuristic-recover=rollback under [mysqld]

Try to start mysql/mariadb server by sudo systemctl start mysql.service and it should fail with this error Can't init tc log.

Don't worry, just edit the config file again and comment tc-heuristic-recover=rollback

Try to start the mysql server again with sudo service start mysql.service and it should work fine.

Check the status to confirm service status mysql.service

Great! Glad you were able to solve it! StackOverflow is one of my favorite go-to sites.
