I ran the update (yum install mysql-init-fixer), but the error still occurs after reboot.
At least I have a quick fix, once I see the issue. What I don’t understand is what is causing it. Like I said, it work fine for a few days (10 days last time) and then it crashes, or it happens when I reboot.
already exists, if mysql is not running then that file needs to be deleted not moved. The official fix does (yum install mysql-init-fixer) just that by adding
rm -f /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
to the conf files in /etc/init, the real fix would be to patch the init file itself.
