1 Hi,
2 I didn't use mysql for a while and it has stopped working! I try and
3 start it and all I get is
4
5 tux ~ # /etc/init.d/mysql status
6 * status: stopped
7 tux ~ # /etc/init.d/mysql start
8 * Starting mysqld (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) ...
9 ..... * MySQL NOT started, proceding anyway
10 [ ok ]
11 tux ~ # /etc/init.d/mysql status
12 * status: started
13 tux ~ # /etc/init.d/mysql restart
14 * Stopping mysqld (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) ...
15 [ !! ]
16 tux ~ # mysql -u root
17 ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
18 '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
19
20 This is most annoying! I have not modified anything (though have been
21 trying to install rt and some other trouble ticket systems) but it seems
22 pretty dead. A remerge did nothing.
23 Any pointers?
24 Cheers
25 Antoine
