You have been subscribed to a public bug: I just did a security upgrade for my Hardy system, and after the reboot, mysql refuses to start!
Errors already appear at system start, here the output of the command when I try to start the server manually after system start(errors are the same): /etc/init.d/mysql restart open: Permission denied * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld /usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't read dir of '/etc/mysql/conf.d/' (Errcode: 2) Fatal error in defaults handling.
