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
You should have stopped mysql before running the update.
The update might have removed the socket file, leaving the server with
no way to communicate.
you may try connecting through the network interface.
mysqladmin -h 127.0.0.1 shutdown
If that does not work, kill the running mysqld processes
