tried start manually , see log errors but:

code: select all

 pi@raspberrypi /etc/mysql $ sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start [fail] starting mysql database server: mysqld . . . . . . . . . . . . . . failed! pi@raspberrypi /etc/mysql $ cat /var/log/mysql.err  pi@raspberrypi /etc/mysql $

if have idea of what's going on , how solve, save sanity.

try this
sudo -i
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe

should lots of error messages.

if runs ok you'll need put in background
[ctrl]+[z]
bg
exit

or
[ctrl]+[c]
exit
shut down cleanly.

btw, don't need ftp, use sftp running part of sshd , can accessed things filezilla running on windows. point filezilla @ port 22.
