I'm using a custom configuration file for mysql in /etc/mysql/conf.d/myfile.cnf
The contents of the file
[client]
port = 3306
socket = /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
[mysqld_safe]

What's wrong?
If you use the configuration file default for mysql, Monit runs smoothly
My sistem is Debian Squeeze 6.0.x and Mysql Server version: 5.1.66-0+squeeze1 (Debian)
The error is monit status: "status Connection failed" and "Port Response time connection failed to 127.0.0.1:3306 [DEFAULT via TCP]"
My configuration Monit Mysql
...
check process mysql with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
group database
start program = "/etc/init.d/mysql start"
stop program = "/etc/init.d/mysql stop"
if failed host 127.0.0.1 port 3306 then restart
if 5 restarts within 5 cycles then timeout
