Do try ps -ef | grep mysqld
to check the server is currently running.
If not then do
/etc/init.d/mysqld start

Let know if there's an error at this point. Also show your my.cnf

Did you use rpm or source to install mysql?

Thank you again for your help. I installed the 4.0 version of Mysql on a red hat 8.0 OS. I am trying to use the database to create a forum (with PHP) for discussion It is a production server but with no critical status I was able to start Mysql a couple months ago but somehow it went down and since then I am constantly getting the error message of : error 2002: can not connect to server through socket /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock when I try to start it. I am not expert but I can do some things around the server if I am pointed to the right direction. Thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

    Is this a production server?
    THIS IS not a good advice but If not then just step down to a
    lower init level turning off the network services and then come
    back into level 3/5 whatever you are using, depending on platform.
    Then try to start the server. If you would tell what platform you
    are running on and what version of mysql you are using, will help
    you get the solution faster - not the restarting the services kind :)

Aman, thank you for your reply.
I did check the ports with netstat and it appears that no other
application is using port 3306.
I am tempting to uninstall mysql and then reinstall it again but
I do not know how to uninstall it the easy way.
Thanks again

did you try netstat and see if something else is using the port.

I am sure that this problem has already been answered but some how I can't
figure it out.
When I try to start the mysqld I get the error 2002 can't start server:
Bind
or TCP/IP port: Address already in use or...
I check that the damoen is not runnig (ps -ef |grep mysqld ) and shows
nothing running. But I just can start it.
Someone there can help me with easy step to fix this?

Thanks
