MySQL List,
Thanks for your advice and help. I tried various things suggested, and
in the end, this is what seems to have worked (I've abbreviated most of
the output):
$ sudo pkill -9 mysqld
$ sudo dpkg --force-all -r mysql-server-5.0
This removed MySQL, but left the configuration files. I went into
/etc/mysql and edited both my.cnf and debian.cnf so that the socket =
/tmp/mysql.sock
Then I reinstalled MySQL server:
$ sudo apt-get install mysql-server mysql-server-5.0
Seems to be running now.
Thanks everyone for helping me get things sorted out.
