Can't connect to local MySQL server via socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'
I tried to restart my MySQL server recently when it seemed to be working strangely and now it doesn't seem to start at all.
It throws an error -
Unable to connect to local MySQL server via socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (111)
when i try
'sudo service mysql restart'.
I haven't modified anything before and it worked fine.
I tried to change the bind address in my.cnf to localhost
.
I've tried suggestions made by other people asking similar questions, but so far nothing has worked.
Any help or advice would be appreciated - I don't quite know how to solve this. I am running Debian Wheezy 64bit .
After a mess and periodic input
'sudo service mysql status'
It seems to work and then says
"MySQL has stopped"
randomly every time I check.
