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

[Alesh Mustar]

Jesse,

*while hitting my head at the desk* yes the permission on /var/lib/mysql 
were not ok, otherwise mysql.sock is/was there (that was actually the 
first thing i checked, after manually logging to mysql with rt_user 
username.

Thank you again,
A.
