You have a strange problem so i've searched the MySQL manual: http://www.mysql.com/doc/S/t/Starting_server.html
--------------------------------- If you get the following error, it means that some other program (or another mysqld server) is already using the TCP/IP port or socket mysqld is trying to use: Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use or Can't start server : Bind on unix socket... Use ps to make sure that you don't have another mysqld server running. If you can't find another server running, you can try to execute the command telnet your-host-name tcp-ip-port-number and press Enter a couple of times. If you don't get an error message like telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused, something is using the TCP/IP port mysqld is trying to use. See section 2.4.1 Problems Running mysql_install_db and section 4.1.4 Running Multiple MySQL Servers on the Same Machine. ----------------------------------------------- So, try the telnet command... I think i can't help you more :-( Good luck!
