ISSUE: MySQL Installation Fails
If the installation fails to install MySQL, you may need to restart the server and retry the installation.
Symptom
You may encounter 'ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket'.
Workaround
Keep retrying the install until the installation does not hit the timing window which is causing this issue.
- Reboot the server, then retry the installation.
- Retry the installation using the other installer type (meaning try the silent installer if you previously used the GUI installer or vice versa).
