i'm getting this error message everytime i try to start mysql.

all of a sudden was getting emails stating that mysql had failed, attempting to restart.. but it never does..

i can't seem to open a ticket as i can't remember the email address & password for the my.surpass surport.. (i know the email, but unfortunately Dan who was owner of the company has moved to australia and isn't in touch with us at the moment. so i can't open a ticket from there.

the server is server.sundissential.com

the error message is

/usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)' Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' exists! mysql has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "Warning, no valid mysql.sock file found.mysql has failed").

i've tried forcing an update of mysql by using mysqlup --force but same problem..

i have all the root passwords and login info etc.. just the my.surpass login info i can't remember.. if anybody can sort this.. kayla?

as current:
eximstats is failed, mysql is failed.

rebooting failed to help, and neither did a CP backup..
