[rt-users] problems "starting up" RT2 - can't connect to MySQL

[Jesse]

Have you checked to make sure that the mysql.socket file described exists
and is accessable.   This gets asked pretty frequently.  Is anyone out there
willing to step up and maintain the FAQ?  If so, please write me privately.

        Thanks,
        jesse
