mysql does not start or work
- by Artem Moskalev
Recently I installed LAMP with tasksel.
Then I remember I issued some commands to get into the mysql console - it worked.
Right now I checked - apache and php modules work perfectly.
But as for mysql - whatever commands I issue - it does not start the console. It writes:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
How can I fix it and start mysql?
Why did this happen?
Where is it installed (I used the default location for the installation), because I dont understand what is started when I issue the commands?
