I'm not sure that this is the time or the place for this,
but I have to admit it irritates me when people say "Thanks in
advance." It irritates me primarily because it appears to be
an excuse for not saying "thank you" later if someone really does
help you. Saying "thanks" afterward shows gratefulness. Saying
"thanks" in advance seems somewhat presumptuous to me.
But anyway, here are some things you can try.
First, check out /var/log/syslog to see if there are any useful
diagnostic messages there. dmesg|less is another place you
can check. Also try invoking the following commands as root:
/etc/init.d/mysql stop
dpkg-reconfigure -plow mysql-server-5.0
/etc/init.d/mysql start
and see if any informative messages show up on the console or
in /var/log/syslog.
