Hi, After every system boot I am loosing the mysql server directory from /var/run, ergo the socket file from /var/run/mysql.
After every boot I have to kill manually the mysql processes and restart the server process manually. It looks like (from the error log below) that mysqld_safe (when starts from rc.conf.local) won't/can't start the server because one is already running. Is this a mysql bug or I am doing something silly? The suggested (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/operating-system-error-codes.html) is useless.
