MySQL List,
I'm going through a post-hard-drive-crash process of reinstalling my
whole operating system, and MySQL is acting very strange.
I installed it as I always have done, by using Ubuntu's Synaptic Package
Manager to install all the default packages for a LAMP server. Every
time before I've done this it has worked like a dream.
It seemed to work when I first installed it yesterday, but today, when
trying to access phpMyAdmin, I got this error:
#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket
is not correctly configured)
I figured I'd give MySQL a bit of a kick just to see if that would help:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld restart
But it gave me this new and unusual response:
sudo: /etc/init.d/mysqld: command not found
Huh. Weird. But I thought it was running, so I ran:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ps aux | grep mysql
And it said back to me:
root 11171 0.0 0.0 1772 532 ? S 20:36 0:00 /bin/sh
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe
mysql 11290 0.1 0.7 126708 15424 ? Sl 20:36 0:00

root 11291 0.0 0.0 2920 736 ? S 20:36 0:00 logger
-p daemon.err -t mysqld_safe -i -t mysqld

I'm obviously no expert (closer to babe-in-the-woods in the grand scheme
of things), but it looks like MySQL is running in some kind of safe mode
or something?
I tried rebooting, which is how people who are clueless like me pretend
problems can be solved, and it still came up the same, indicating that
this safe mode seems to be locked in.
The problem seems to go beyond phpMyAdmin. I can't login to Zend
Platform (returns the same error), nor can I start a mysql interface
from the command line:
$ mysql -u root -p
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Oh, this might be relevant - I ran a PHP script with phpinfo() and it
says my MYSQL_SOCKET is located at:
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
Which is where it should be, no?
Any ideas why it is doing this, and how to get MySQL happy again?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
