Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
Can someone please explain why I am getting this error and how to resolve it while installing mysql-server by doing mysql_secure_installation ?
Similarly, error occurs while installing maridb-server.
[root@servera-clone ~]# mysql_secure_installation

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MariaDB, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
