Lack of free disk space? I guess the best is if you purge everything, check that /var/lib/mysql is not existing and reinstall. Sorry for the inconvinience, it normally works out of the box..
If it still does not work, send "df -h", "ls -al /var/lib/mysql" and the "export DEBIAN_SCRIPT_DEBUG=1" output. > IMHO /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock should be created by a post-install script. No, the socket is created by the mysqld daemon when it starst up, if it's not there then there is no daemon running (which is plausible if it does not find its /var/lib/mysql/mysql/* tables). Just the dir has to be created by the Debian package script. > Olaf bye, -christian- P.S.: Please keep that [EMAIL PROTECTED] in Cc, you could have luck that others identify the problem before I do :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
