ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (62)

Question

I have started mysql using

brew services start mysql

and I made sure that mysql is started by checking it using

brew services list

it shows that the status of mysql is "started".

however when I try to run the command

mysql

it'll say:

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (62)

I have searched online for multiple answers already but none of them would solve my problem.

How should I solve this?

Have you tried the solution at https://stackoverflow.com/q/15016376/735926? — bfontaine, Aug 23 '18 at 11:35
@bfontaine Yes I have tried that answer. Mycli works fine but I don't know why mysql just doesn't work... — Daveedo, Aug 24 '18 at 01:44
