Okay, so here is a quick tip. After making some system changes on an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS box with MySQL 5, a problem occurred. Upon starting the system up, MySQL failed to automatically start as it had been doing.
The tip is to reset all the system startup scripts for MySQL run the following commands:
sudo update-rc.d -f mysql remove sudo update-rc.d mysql defaults
After that, reboot and if the problem was in those system startup scripts, I bet your problem is resolved.
Blessings.
