    This is my problem;
    I tried to install MyDNS, during the install process something messed up mysql so not it wont start, stop or work! If you kill it manually (killall -9 mysqld) It just restarts by itself :|
    Anyone got a solution?

    This is what I get when I try to re-install mysql-server
    Code:
    apt-get install mysql-server
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    The following NEW packages will be installed:

    There is a MySQL server running, but we failed in our attempts to stop it.
    Stop it yourself and try again!

    MySQL seems to be running already. What's the output of
    Code:
    ps aux|grep -i mysql
    ?
