I see that I am not the only newbee that has had problems with MQSQL but please help. I have included the syslog at the bottom but this means little to me, perhaps some of you understand what it is trying to tell me?
MySql will not start and I get the error 'ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' when I do a mysql -p 'password'
I am running Debian Sarge with PHP4 and MySql. The system has been stable and I have installed a few applications the are using PHP4 and MySql, however yesterday I did something stupid and do not know how to fix it!
I was trying to get the mail server running with no luck at all and I read in one chat room that by doing an apt-get remove postfix postfix-tls libsas12 sas12-bin lisas12-modules ipod-ssl uw-imapd-sssl and then re-installing them that the mail server would work. It does NOT! And now MySQL is not working either.
I have run;
updatedb
(followed by)
locate mysqld.sock
locate mysql.sock
And neither return a result so I guess that MySql is not actually running.
How do I start MySqld.sock ? I have seen lots of posts that say start this, and start that, but with no explanation of how too. Please Please help as I am desperate to get MySql working again.
Hope there is help out there for me.
Best regards
Richard.
