Package: mysql-server-5.0 Version: 5.0.18-3 Hi,
Since there's some problem with my database, I decided to re-install mysql-server-5.0. First, I do aptitude purge mysql-server mysql-server-5.0 and select YES when asked to delete /var/lib/mysql or not. Then, re-install it: aptitude install mysql-server but failed with this: Setting up mysql-server-5.0 (5.0.18-3) ... Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld. Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed or took more than 6s. Please take a look at the syslog. /usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
