i've checked your link but it doesn't work.

mysqld server is not running and if i want to start it i obtain 2002
error because the /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock file is missing.
If i start it with "sudo mysqld_safe start" the server starts for some
seconds, the /var/run/mysqld/ dir is created and after it stops by
itself.
