Hello,

I cannot get the album to work, I get the error

A Database Error Occurred
Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.

Having read other forum items on this I have tried,as per this thead http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f ... rred#p8614

including removing the bubba backend and reinstalling. No apparent errors.

I assume that the problem may be that I could have change mysql password, but I cannot remember doing this and all other database applications seem to be fine.

ekaterina@ekaterina-laptop:~$ mysql --user=root --pass mysql
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)


Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the album working again.

Many thanks in advance,

try

Thanks for the reply,

This returns,
Starting MySQL database server: mysqld already running.
with no other error message.

Seems to be a bit of an odd one?

interesting

so for some reason the daemon is present but you cannot get to the socket. You can give a "/etc/init.d/mysql stop" and then a "start" again to force a cycle. You can also check if you can connect to the IP interface, but for starters I'd reboot and see if mysql comes back up.

now at least we get some clues!

Stopped and restarted and got the following on restart.

Starting MySQL database server: mysqld ..
Checking for corrupt, not cleanly closed and upgrade needing tables..

I have previously rebooted bubba to attempt to fix this. Am at work at the moment so may try a full shutdown / depower etc, rather than through the interface.

Thanks for your help.

so it restarted and checking for corruption. That doesn't really mean anything
The real question whether you could access the socket again.
