I moved my /var to a new disk and now amarok will nor work because it can't
connect to mysql
Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
If I /etc/init.d/mysql stop
* Caching service dependencies ... [ ok ]
* WARNING: mysql has not yet been started.
If I /etc/init.d/mysql start
* ...
* Starting mysql (/etc/mysql/my.cnf)
* MySQL NOT started (0)
If I just type mysql, I get the following error:-
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
So it looks as if I have really screwed up moving /var
The /var/run/mysql directory is empty
Check the permissions on /var/run/mysql.
It should be owned by mysql.
What's in mysql logs? They're probably in /var/log/mysql
