My Mysql-Installation was corrupt after a Ruby-on-Rails-Instalation.

First I did a complete new installation of Mysql 
(sudo apt-get mysql-client mysql-server)

Afterwards everything worked fine - until I shut down the computer.

The next day I could not connect. Error message:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)

Trying to restart mysql (/etc/init.d/mysql restart) gave me this message:
 * Stopping MySQL database server mysqld                                 [ OK ] 
 * /etc/init.d/mysql: WARNING: /etc/mysql/my.cnf cannot be read. See README.Debian.gz
 * Starting MySQL database server mysqld                                        install: cannot change owner and permissions of „/var/run/mysqld“: No such file or directory

Then I saw, that my.cnf had disappeared altogether (sudo find / -name
my.cnf had no result).


Thank you for caring.
