This is saying that something is trying to connect to mysqld and
failing. Which is correct if starting mysqld failed. I think the
relevant syslog info might be before this.

I don't know what distro you're on, so I'm going to assume Debian or
Debian-like.

What happens when you run 'sudo /etc/init.d/mysql restart'?

I'm 99% sure that's not going to do anything for you. In particular, it
seems to be talking about the bind nameserver, which you probably aren't
even running.
