    I installed Debian Etch using the Perfect Install without hitch. Moved on to ISPConfig. When I installed it I got it up and running no problem, but the next time I logged in this is what I got:

    Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/lib/classes/ispconfig_db_mysql.lib.php on line 77

    Any suggestions? If this is an issue that has been dealt with in another thread please direct me there and I will read up on it. Thank you.

    more

    Here's an interesting discovery - I get the above error message regardless of the username or password I enter. I changed my password when I first logged in. Is it possible this is part of the issue?

    What's the output of
    Code:
    netstat -tap
    ? I guess MySQL isn't running.

    mysql missing components

    You're right about MySQL falco - from what I have been able to determine so far I am missing mysqld.sock - not only is it not located where it should be, I can't find it at all to do a symbolic link (I used grep). I've tried to find info on how to get it or re-build it, but no luck so far. At this point I'm thinking of scrapping the whole install and starting over, but I'd probabaly learn more if I could figure out how to troubleshoot the existing install. Any help would be appreciated, but I understand I'm not offering much to work with. If you need me to provide more info let me know and I'll dig into it. Thank you!

    Can you restart MySQL? Do you get any errors then? Also check your logs.
