Hallo all,
i have a big problem here with my server, after i upgraded mysql from 4
to 5, i found that there are two pid files in /var/lib/mysql which mean
i have two mysql servers,
Not necessarily.
If MySQL5 uses a slightly different filename, then two pid files
is to be expected -- if I remember correctly, mysqld overwrites
the previous pid file. If MySQL5 is creating a pid file with a
different name, then the old MySQL4 pid file will still be there,
because I don't believe that mysqld cleans up the pid file.
[I could be wrong on that...it's been over a 20 months since I
last played with mysql]
and mysql is failing at startup with error regarding the .sock file,
please help.
Have you tried starting mysqld from a command line?

Mahmoud Abdelsalam.
