Mysql Down

[ameya]

What's the output of the below command, paste here last 4-6 lines.

cat /var/lib/mysql/hostname.domain.com.err

NOTE:- hostname.domain.com should be your actual hostname of your server.

Also, check if there is any other instance of MySQL running on your server?

ps aux|grep mysql
