MySQL won't start....
Hello everybody, I recently setup a web server on Debian Sarge.
After setup there was the debian-maintinence account for mysql that I
haven't touched. There was also a root account with no password that I
did change. But there was also another root account with no password
that I changed, and ever since then I get the following error when
trying to start mysql:
/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!
Well, it doesn't exist, and I'm not sure what to do. It wasn't until I
changed the password on the second root account that I started receiving
this error. Was I supposed to just leave the second root's password blank?
