Problem connecting to db

[rhunton]

Hi - Having some trouble launching the binlog reader.

Proxysql is on 10.10.0.12

DB is on 10.10.0.11

Installed proxysql_binlog_reader on 10.10.0.11 and launched with:
./proxysql_binlog_reader -hlocalhost -u root -p REDACTED -P 3306 -l 999 -L /var/log/binlog_reader.log

Got the following error:
Error in initializing slave: Could not mysql_real_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) : 2002

Our server is set up with the socket in /mysql/data but I can't find a config option to set that up for binlog reader.

Thanks.

Resolved by adding a symlink to /mysql/data/mysql.sock
