How to restart mysql

Hello

I'm on FreeBSD 6.2 dedicated server with root access
control-panel Directadmin

Today i check that i cann't login into directadmin. at the same time ftp and ssh access are live.

try to do restart and after this mysql service is down too.

all my attempts to do restart aren't successful.

1. don't have http access to DA
2. have ftp access, but cann't overwrite files
3. have ssh access
4. mysql service is stoped

try to do mysql restart with this command

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh stop
but there isn't such file

try to connect to mysql and get such output

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local
MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in


what to do ?

any advise will be appreciated

If you moved mysql-server.sh into the rc.d folder, it'd be /etc/rc.d I believe this file is located in the scripts folder within your mysql installation folder, which is usually /usr/local/mysql.

You could also just use mysqld_safe directly. In either case, did you read the MySQL manual for information on starting and stopping the server? You can also search for your error message.

in my case right path is

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysqld

thank you
