running 2.4.27-2-k7
For years, MySql was running fine.
This a.m., webpages were not being served.
I thought that it was MySql.
I tried this:
#/etc/init.d/mysql restart
I received this:
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!
I followed instructions:
#grep mysql /var/log/syslog
Yields:
/etc/init.d/mysql[14242]: 0 processes alive and '/usr/bin/mysqladmin
--defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf ping' resulted in
/etc/init.d/mysql[14242]: ^G/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at
'localhost' failed
/etc/init.d/mysql[14242]: error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through

/etc/init.d/mysql[14242]: Check that mysqld is running and that the socket:
'/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!
There is no /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock file
My /etc/mysql/debian.cnf is:
# Automatically generated for Debian scripts. DO NOT TOUCH!
[client]
host = localhost
user = debian-sys-maint
password = bnL0UFfwUuSv6Mb3
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
I can ping my localhost.
#ping localhost
PING localhost.gateway.2wire.net (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

The only think I can think of is that this is somehow resolving to my ISP?
It has been a long time since I have pinged the localhost so I cannot recall if
it used to be my domain or if it was always my ISP gateway.
If this is the problem, does anyone have a suggestion on how to repair?
