Wrong permissions on mysql start?

[102020]

Fresh install of CentOS 6.7 and latest CPanel.

Initially found that 'localhost' could not be used in web configs, started digging and discovered static IP could. Kept digging, found root cause. /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock has 755 permissions which makes everything fail. I have to manually go and change it to 777 for systems to operate.

> service mysql restart

Reverts the mysql.sock back to 755, how to fix this? I have followed the general guides with /tmp folder etc, nothing seems to keep it at 777 after a mysql restart.

Check to ensure the /tmp/mysql.sock file is a symbolic link rather than a separate file:

ls -al /tmp/mysql.sock

Also, please let us know the output from these commands:

cat /var/cpanel/rpm.versions.d/local.versions
/usr/local/cpanel/scripts/check_cpanel_rpms --fix

Thank you.
