Error Code?

[Marcus Ouimet]

MySQL was working fine but now it seems to be giving me an error:

user:/usr/local/apache/bin# mysql -uusername -pmypassword

 Can't read dir of '.' (Errcode: 2)   

or

user:/usr/local/apache/bin# mysqladmin -uusername -pmypassword create catalog          
                                                             
mysqladmin: create of 'catalog' failed error: 'Can't create database 'catalog'. 
(errno: 2)'   

Any ideas?
