Hello,

Today somehow my MySQL won't start anymore so I checked out some few things and then tryd to reintall it trough SSH..but failed.
This was my last resort, and I googled all over the net, tryd restarting it trough several ways..even rebooted my server but didn't help at all.

This is the error i'm getting:

Starting mysqld: [ OK ]
Waiting for mysqld to start....
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/myql.sock' (2)
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: ES)

This is how I started the reinstall:
root@c3po:/usr/local/directadmin/scripts# ./mysql.sh passwordhere da_admin passwordhere

The error shows up at the end of the install.
Is there a good way to uninstall to related MySQL stuff and just install the latest 5.00 series?

I'm using Debian Etch, any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
