[cobalt-users] MySQL Not Connecting

["JA" <jjma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Help.

Having restarted the RAQ2 this morning because it wasn't producing any web
services there has been a problem with mysql that is puzzling. Trying to
connect via telnet with password brings up the following error message:

[root /]# mysql -p
Enter password: ............
ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local Mysql server (146)

Mysql doesn't respond to some mysqladmin commands that I have tried a few
tips of the cobalt list.

[root bin]# ps -aux | grep sql

Any ideas ...?

Thanks
