[rt-users] Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

[Robert McDuffee]

I am very new to sing MySQL and RT so please bear with me.  I can connect to
the database (RT and others) using mysqladmin, however, I cannot connect
using the rtadmin utility.  The following is the error message I get.  Any
help would be very appreciated.
Thanks
Bob
