Re: MYSQL8 will not start - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

[Zach Ellis]

Hello Adam Wilshire and Chawki Hajjem

[ERROR] [MY-011906] [InnoDB] Database page corruption on disk or a failed file read of page [page id: space=71, page number=10344]. You may have to recover from a backup.

This may help with that error https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/forcing-innodb-recovery.html

with the Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/can-not-connect-to-server.html

Ive run into this wile practicing and when you connect to the sever locally you can put -h 127.0.0.1 ex (mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -u whatever -p the_servers_port -p etc(other parameters)) and i was able to get in but the link above goes into more detail and might have the solution.

new to MySQLDBA hope this helps.
