It is not completely unimaginable that a communication socket goes away when the server is shut down.
That's our limited knowledge of Linux and comms sockets for you. Thanks for the info.
It should be created again when the server restarts. If not, try a newer version of MySQL. If this is impossible, there are easier ways to create a socket (mknode) than reinstalling the rpm.
We are running the most recent version of MySQL for Linux that we could find (rpm version 3.23.47-1). I'm assuming that the command to create this socket on restarting the OS is located somewhere in a Linux startup script of some kind? Thanks for your help on this. After all, this problem we've got with MySQL is only indirectly Zope related! Richard H.
