MySQL Work! April 30, 2008

Urgh. So I’m having problems transferring the VlexoFree websites to the new dedicated server because the old VPS keeps crashing. I’ve transferred like 50% of the websites on the VlexoFree ‘old’ server however there is a considerably sized amount left which needs to be transferred. I’m thinking I might have to do this manually or via SSH which one of the guys at WiredTree taught me. Though I’m getting quite annoyed and this is the error I’m getting while trying to transfer accounts over:
Grabbing mysql dbs……../usr/bin/mysqladmin: connect to server at ‘localhost’ failederror: ‘Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (11)’Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ exists!
And with that error above, I cannot transfer accounts over and the transfer just ‘fails’. - So what can I do? As said I might have to do things manually or get my server management company to fix it for me…, but really, it’s so damn annoying finding out you can’t transfer your accounts over because of a problem like this. Though Logan, who is back at Vlexo.com might be able to fix this, so I may ask him if he is active. 
Hopefully this transfer will be over by the end of today or this morning.
Thanks for reading,
