Since this morning, phpmyadmin is giving me the error message #2002 the server doesn't answer (or the connection to local Mysql is not well configured) and a message about control-use.

I'm disappointed it used to work until 2am last night and now the MySQL engine doesn't want to start (told me sometimes about sockets ..)

LAMPP is installed on a ubuntu 12.04 

lm@Famou:~$ sudo service mysqld status
mysqld: unrecognized service    & lm@Famou:~$ sudo service mysqld start
mysqld: unrecognized service  : It never works with 'service' !!!

and

root@Famou:/opt/lampp# /opt/lampp/lampp restart
Stopping XAMPP for Linux 1.7.7...
XAMPP: Stopping Apache with SSL...
XAMPP: XAMPP-MySQL is not running.
XAMPP: Stopping ProFTPD...
XAMPP stopped.
Starting XAMPP for Linux 1.7.7...
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)...
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...
XAMPP: Couldn't start MySQL!
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...
XAMPP for Linux started.

is the result of restart lampp

Edit your question with the output of sudo service mysqld status and sudo service mysqld start. – Phil Sep 21 '12 at 13:43
Oh, sorry. It's because I'm an idiot. Should be: sudo service mysql status and sudo service mysql start – Phil Sep 21 '12 at 13:49
no you are not ! the key word 'service' never gives me answer, my config seems to be strange – LOIC Sep 21 '12 at 13:52
Is someone available to help me ? Please ! Thanks – LOIC Sep 21 '12 at 14:11
Punting this to Server Fault where they'll likely close it as a dupe, which should give you an answer. – jcolebrand♦ Sep 21 '12 at 15:10
