I've just installed various updates to SuSE 8.2 via SuSE's web site. One of
these was an update to MySQL to fix a security bug. Now MySQL doesn't work!
During boot-up, I get the message that MySQL failed. In the log it says:
starting service mysql
failed
[..]S13mysql start exits with status 1
When I try to start MySQL manually, it also fails. When I looked in mysqld.log
it seems to think mysql is already running because port 3306 is taken. In
YaST runlevel editor I looked and, sure enough, it believes mysql is up and
running. However, when I try to use it I get:
'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'
And sure enough, mysql.sock doesn't exist in that directory. In fact, I can't
find it anywhere on the machine! Why would it just vanish?
Before I really start screwing things up, any thoughts where I should
start...?
