A bit ago, I moved my mysql directory from /var/lib/mysql to /home/lib/mysql. In those steps I created a symlink
ln -s /home/lib/mysql/mysql.sock /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
Which worked great. Today, I had to restart mysql through WHM. When I do, it says it failed and mysql isn't running. Trying again doesn't work. However, if i add the symlink again, it works perfecty, I don't need to do anything else. So now whenever I restart mysql I also have to replace the symlink. Is there a permanent fix that I can do so that I don't have to do this?
