A couple of days ago I upgraded a server from Ubuntu Jaunty (9.04) to Karmic (9.10)I've upgraded 4 machines from 9.04 to 9.10 and had no problems with any of the MySql implementations.All seemed to be well apart from vnc4server not working anymore (but that's an aside which I've not looked into yet).I tried accessing one of my development mysql databases today to find that mysqld wasn't running. A "/etc/init.d/mysql restart" followed by a "tail /var/log/syslog" gave my this error message "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock".After googling and a lot of messing around with permissions etc. (to cut a long story short), I renamed my "/etc/mysql/my.cnf" replacing it with "my.cnf.dpkg-dist" and started mysqld. It failed first time with an error about event scheduler tables being damaged but running "/etc/init.d/mysql restart" straight afterwards got it going with no errors.The only differences between the two "my.cnf"s were in my broken my.cnf which had these extra lines:language = /usr/share/mysql/englishbind-address = 192.168.1.3 (my server's IP address. the fixed file uses 127.0.0.1)thread_stack = 128K (the fixed file has 192K) skip-bdb skip-federated Regs Martin
