So I've tried the following. On the other bug thread there was a fix released to the repositories, this was the version I was downloading /installing.
As this was failing, I removed all the Mysql stuff. ___ sudo apt-get remove mysql-server-5.1 sudo apt-get purge mysql-server-5.1 sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean ___ removed the directories it creates (/etc/mysql, /var/lib/mysqld, /var/run/mysqld, /var/log/mysql) and the init file (/etc/init/mysql.conf) ___ Now I tried to install the version from the ppa that was mentioned on bug#551130 post15 Again I had the same problem of mysql not starting, so either the fix has been regressed, or I'm doing something wrong. I go for me doing something wrong ;) So back to removing all of that, and re-installing the stuff from the repositories - so I now have a standard 'install' that most poeple would have. I'm now going to follow the required changes as laid out in post 16 of the other thread.... will report back on success / failure of this procedure.
