Mysql is not running

[morris_m]

I have a problem with mysql.It s not running anymore.I don t know if it s because i still have the xampp 1.4.9.
i have no connection with mysql.sock nomore.I can t log on my phpmyadmin anymore.(IT S SUCKS!!:evil: )
If somebody has an idea of what s happened.I ll be glad to hear it.
Thank you for listening.

ps:i wanted to ask too if i have to upgrade the xampp 1.4.9 with the new version xampp1.4.12 and if it will be compatible.

Do you get an error by starting mysql? Which one? What says the error log?

Yes you can update to 1.4.12, but you should fix your problem with mysql first (my opinion).

i have this error:

ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/opt/lampp/var/mysql/mysql.sock' (2).
I tryed to make a test but...it said mysql is already running and used by the port:3306.
I tryed to deconnect mysql of suse but without changes.

Thank you for your quick answer

Is it possible that you have mysql already installed by installing suse linux? You should stop the "suse mysql" and start the xampp mysql. Should work then...

i tryed to stop it by usr/bin and etc/init.d/.it said the same thing.i have the same errors.

Hi,

just to see if there is another mysqld running, please try this:

ps aux | grep mysql

What is the output?
