Mandrake crashed on me last night with the errors:

I had to restart the computer and it did a file system check and now
everything on the computer seems to work except mysql it says in linux
conf that it is running but whenever I try to access it I get this error:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mysql
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (111)

I have tried do a mysql restart and I still get the same errors any ideas?

Sounds like the crash left the sock file open on the drive and now when you try to start, it is unable to overwrite it. To test, simply go into the directory and if that mysql.sock file is there, issue the command mv mysql.sock mysql.sock.backup and then try to start mysql. If it starts, delete the backup file and have a beer.
