MySQL - nie moze sie polaczyc?

[Mateusz Linda <tisam@wp.pl>]

witam!
wrocilem z wyjazdu wakacyjnego, zrobilem apt-get upgrade i tutaj taki blad na 
dzien dobry :
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed.
        Please take a look at the syslog.
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: 
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!

Hmmm rzeczywiscie - w katalogu /var/run/mysqld/ nic nie ma. Tylko wczesniej 
musialo cos byc skoro mysql chodzil w porzadku ?

Usunalem i ponownie zainstalowalem - phpmyadmin oraz mysql-server ale 
ponownie : 
Setting up mysql-server (4.0.24-10) ...
Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld...failed.
        Please take a look at the syslog.
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: 
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!

Ma ktos moze jakis pomysl ?

Z gory dziekuje,
