MySQL Errors!!

[Villan]

OK, when i try to restart MySQL i get this error:


Attempting to restart mysql
Waiting for mysql to restart.... . . . . . . . . . . finished.

mysql status


mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "Warning, no valid mysql.sock file found.mysql has failed").


Im taking a wild guess .. but that is VERY bad right?

Is data recoverable from that, or do i just need to find a new mysql.sock file?

If i put a new mysql.sock will my data still be there or will i loose it all?

Thanks for your help

A very panicky Villan

First thing I should do is make some full account backups.
