Known Causes
4 known causesMySQL Server Not Running
The MySQL server process is not actively running, preventing any client connections, including those attempted via shared memory.
Shared Memory Not Enabled on Server

Insufficient System Resources or Permissions
The client or server lacks the necessary system resources (e.g., memory) or user permissions to establish or access the shared memory segment.
Incorrect Client Connection Parameters
