When I try to to run mysqldump, I receive the following message:

ERROR 2002 can't connect to local mysql server thru socket

That tells me that you do not have mysql running.

I am a newbie and do not lhow to interpert the log.

What now?

What is the output of these commands?

  env COLUMNS=80 dpkg -l | grep mysql-server

Should say:


  ii  mysql-server-c 5.5.31+dfsg- amd64    MySQL database server binaries

This one needs root:

  service mysql restart

Should say:

  Stopping MySQL database server: mysqld.
  Starting MySQL database server: mysqld ..
