Hi,

could you please try and run this:

# /usr/local/libexec/mysqld -u root

you probably want to add an ampersand '&' at the end of the line.

and let me/us know if it works. I am sure this is not the appropriate way to
do this, but maybe it will get you started.
I am also curious for the response from experienced people for the above
command which i think will work.
All these provided that you have the mysql server installed..

Regards, Spiros

Hi,
With the gracious help of a poster here, I managed to get roundcube up and
running, and had to resort to MySQL, which I know very little of.

After it was all up and running, and we'd added the users and tested their
access to webmail, we decided to put some more memory into the machine.  So
a quick shutdown later, and we were powering back up.  Disaster: MySQL
didn't start and so roundcube mail just gives us 'service currently
unavailable' !!

I've scoured the MySQL website, FAQ, etc., but can I start the damned
database?  Can I hell.

   [EMAIL PROTECTED]/usr/local/bin(111): ./mysqladmin start
./mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock'
exists!

... and other similar errors.

Fortunately, this server won't be 'production' until teachers and pupils
come back next week after the Sukkot holidays .. if this had happened when
the server was being accessed by >95 people, bang would have gone our
credibility.

Anyone able to help me get the db up and running, whilst I try to learn
about MySQL before this happens again ?

Thanks.

D.
