Hello, I had the same issue and, during startup, the the log file only show:
Nov 20 11:13:15 hostname /etc/init.d/mysql[27658]: 0 processes alive and '/usr/bin/mysqladmin --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping' resulted in Nov 20 11:13:15 hostname /etc/init.d/mysql[27658]: #007/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed Nov 20 11:13:15 hostname /etc/init.d/mysql[27658]: error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)' Nov 20 11:13:15 hostname /etc/init.d/mysql[27658]: Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists! Nov 20 11:13:15 hostname /etc/init.d/mysql[27658]: Which does not should anything. Idem with starting /usr/bin/mysqld_safe by hand. I removed skip-locking from /etc/mysql/my.cnf and it fixed the issue. Maybe a check should be done in the init script to make sure that the option is not enable.
