Running on Ubuntu 10.04 - mysql functioning correctly. I installed mysql-workbench-gpl-5.2.30-1ubu1004-i386.deb. After installing the Workbench I could no longer access mysql though command prompt - it said that the socket was missing at /var/run/mysql/mysqld.sock. I rebooted - now mysql won't come up at all.
It appears that when I installed Workbench it created directory /etc/mysql and put its own my.cnf file in there. The my.cnf I created at /etc has the socket in /tmp.
First - this is really rude to break an installation by loading Workbench.
Second - how do I put humpty-dumpty back together again? Is it sufficient that I copy /etc/my.cnf into the newly created directory?
