akonadi won't start

[Mike Diehl]

Hi all.

I posted this to the user's group some time ago.  It was suggested that I post to the dev group.  So, here I go.

I'm having trouble getting akonadi to start.  When I try to start it, I get this error message:

$ akonadictl start 
Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) 
mdiehl at mikeworkstation:~$ org.kde.pim.akonadiserver: Starting up the Akonadi Server...

Check that mysqld is running and that the socket: '/run/user/1000/akonadi/mysql.socket' exists!

I can confirm that /home/mdiehl/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf does exist and has readable permissions.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Mike
