Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

I try to run it manually with a hardcoded values, it work.
But when I try to connect using OpenVPN GUI in windows, the login.sh cant connect and give that error.

I use CentOS 7 64bit

• **PHP version: 5.6
• MySQL version: 5.5.60-MariaDB
• **Webserver (Nginx, Apache...): Apache
• What is the expected behaviour? account to connect
• What do you see instead? I get bad account, i guess its because it cant connect to mysql
• PHP logs on pastebin: https://pastebin.com/ZNAE116w

I have encountered the same problem. It is caused by a problem with SELinux. The login script runs with the user 'nobody', and cannot access the file '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'.
