If you are sure mysql isn't started, try: /etc/init.d/mysql zap Then start it again: /etc/init.d/mysql start BTW, this is not mysql-specific. If a service crashes for any reason, the initscript framework may think it is still running (e.g. if it didn't clean up its pid file). "zap" cleans that up, so that it can be started again.
