but when i try to restart the mysql i keep on getting this error:-

Code:

        Please take a look at the syslog.
/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed
error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)'
Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' exists!

I'm new to server etc so, you help will be really appreciated. I'm trying to setup a website to use TangoCMS and E-Mail etc for our thinking group...lol
