I've installed mysql 4 and noticed that both mysql 4.0 and 4.1 was on the
system. In my attempt to remove the older version I may have done away with my
mysqld.sock. When I try to access mysql i'm getting the following message:
debOS:~# /etc/init.d/mysql start
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed.
Please take a look at the syslog.
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
exists!
Any ideas?
Thanks
