MYSQL doesn't start... ERROR 2002 (HY000)

[windswept321]

Hi, I've had, I think, the same issue in the past when I have tried to use this script with Debian 7. Now I have it in a fresh Debian 6 KVM vps. MYSQL doesn't start and cannot start. When I attempt to start it manually I receive this error: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) purging mysql-server and mysql-client and reinstalling via the script gives the same problem.

Did someone figure this out? I'm getting the same error

logger: command not found

This can be fixed by reinstalling bsdutils

apt-get --reinstall install bsdutils
