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
On the second thought.
Is it /var/run/mysql or /var/run/mysqld?
You should probably recreate /var/run/mysqld
and set the permissions.
And make /etc/my.cnf a symlink to /etc/mysql/my.cnf
CLI utilities probably look for /etc/my.cnf
HTH,
