I rebooted my Ubuntu Dapper Drake/mythtv0.20 setup this morning, and it isn't restarting correctly. I cannot start up mythbackend because it says that mysql is not running (which is correct). I try running /etc/init.d/mysql start and it times out starting msqladmin, because it cannot connect to the socket. I try running mysqld as root, and (sudo /usr/sbin/msqld) and it says it cannot start because the port is already bound to a process, and to check that a mysql server is already running. ps -aux | grep sql shows nothing running.
<br><br>I am not sure what to do. How do I find out what is blocking access to the port? I have done several updates from binary .debs from the one apt repository (I cannot remember the address, and I am at work, so I cannot look up the address, it may have been the iowa state one, but it might have been another).
