sudo mysql start and got this: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
hmmm... Thought about it for a moment and decided that maybe I should try mysqld
That worked but [...] Any thoughts?
I think running mysqld directly won't start the server with the same parameters as the script /etc/init.d/mysqld does, so it might not find your databases and settings. Try using the init script and if it fails to start with some error message, check the /var/log files for a fuller description of the problem. This is more of a general sysadmin or ubuntu question than a Koha problem, so you might find a local sysadmin or LUG who could explain it more fully.
