Mysql not starting on docker

Question

I'm using laravel sail to launch a statamic website on my local machine (macOS). All packages are up-to-date and launch correctly however, the mysql service starts, then fails due to "another process with pid 62 is using unix socket file.".

I'm using the default sail docker-compose file, uneditted. It is working on my other, linux machine correctly with no issues. When visiting localhost, I'm met with "SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo for mysql failed: Name or service not known" which makes me think that it is connecting somehow as I would normally expect connection refused?

Here are the docker mysql container logs:

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The solution that worked for me was - the answer (copied below)

Laravel Sail Mysql 8.0 problem on existing project

This was resolved by doing the following commands:

docker-compose down --volumes
sail up --build

Answer 2

I solve mine (WSL2, Docker Desktop) by opening the Docker Desktop GUI, opened the Volumes sidebar. Search for all volume that has "mysql" on their name and delete those volumes. Then run docker compose up again.
