Hi all!!!

I am in the process of installing a genome brower on an ubuntu 10.04 (lucid). I achieved to see the browser once. Then, the mysql.sock disappeared and to solve this I tried first, to reboot the server with no results. Then I removed and reinstalled the MySQL server installing mysql-server-5.1. Now, I have a socket and MySQL is running (checked these out) but when I try to see the browser that is what I obtain:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

Any ideas, please?
