newbie figure out what is wrong? I know it's difficult when I can't tell
you exactly what was going on when it stopped working, but I don't know
where to start with this. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but

John,
if you try connecting to mysql using mysqlmanager (or one of the other
gui frontends) what error messages do you get? Something like 'cannot
connect to socket (or sock) at xxxxxxxxxxxx address'? or perhaps, '
access denied to user (name) using password (yes [or no])' ... ?
It would help greatly to understand what mysql is trying to tell
you, ... ?
I have a cron job that does a mysqldump daily, and it emailed me the
following error this morning - but again, I think this is just because the
server is not running:
mysqldump: Got error: 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) when trying to connect
