I did an update this morning from snow leopard server to mountain lion and installed the Server app as well, now I can't connect to the mysql and I fear all my databases are lost, anyone had this problem and can provide a solution?
First issue seems to be with the mysql.sock file, it's not present. So I can't connect from anything or dump to files and start over. Here is what happends when I run mysql
/usr/libexec/mysqld

I've tried both mysqld_update and bunch of other stuff. My main goal now is to get the data out somehow and do a clean install. But I can't seem to find the data.
If I do a locate in the terminal on a databasename, I find it stuffed away in /Library/Server/Previous/private/var/mysql/DBNAME, but I can't access that location in either terminal or finder (even as root), trying to to cd into them gives me a "not exists" in return.
