Last week I upgraded to mysql 4.1.14. I carefully followed every line of the upgrade guide inlcuding the revdep-rebuild and at the end I had a lovely new mysql 4.1 and all my databases had imported with no problems, phpmyadmin also worked fine. Now....about a week later I can't start mysql:
/etc/init.d/mysql start - says mysql has already started but it hasn't (ps aux | grep -i my* shows nothing) mysql shows ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) I have checked permissions on var/run/mysqld as recommended in another post and they are correct. I am running out of ideas....anyone any further ideas?? Thanks Kevin. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
