I attempted to restart my MySQL server recently after it appeared to have been working strangely, and now it doesn't seem to start up at all.
It gives the error -
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)
when I try to
'sudo service mysql restart'.
I haven't modified anything from before and it used to work fine.
I've tried changing the bind-address in my.cnf to localhost.
I've tried suggestions made in other people asking similar questions but nothing's worked yet.
Any help or advice would be appreciated - I'm fairly clueless on how to solve this. I'm running Debian Wheezy 64bit.
After messing around a bit and periodically entering
'sudo service mysql status'
It seems to be running and then say
"MySQL is stopped"
randomly each time I check.
