MySQL refusing to start
 
What clues does this output give you?

</>$ mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)


I've tried "mysql --user=andrew" but get the same error :(

Figured it out:

type in "service mysqld start" to start the stinking service LOL
