Public bug reported:
Problem started with failure to update my sites after my system hung and
forced "hard" shutdown. On rebooting, could not get the server to
connect neither could I stop it. I got Error #2002 unable to connect
with my phpMyAdmin. Then on the terminal, I could not connect to mysql
as root got: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server
through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)
Tried searching for the solution but all problem sites talk or error
with /var/lib/mysqld/mysqld.soc (2). Solutions offered did not help
including that from the MySQL reference manual.
So I decided to upgrade the package but it would not install as it could
not stop the server that was running. I had not been able to stop it
either with /etc/int.d/mysql stop or service mysql stop.
At present I am l am locked out of /var/lib/mysql - access denied.
I am running Ubuntu 10.4 on windows using wubi.exe
Hope you guys can find a solution soon otherwise I have to uninstall
Ubuntu and start all over again - painful as many days and nights of
work would be lost.
