[rt-users] can't connect to mysql.sock?

[dmmooney at earthlink.net]

Apache & Mysql both _appear_ to be running fine.

However, whenever I attempt to connect to the webui, I get this message:

DBI->connect(dbname=rt2;host=localhost) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL
server through socket '/usr/local/mysql/var/mysql.sock'
 (13) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm

[sorry if this comes in a bit scrambled - I'm on a webmail interface and it
looks ugly]

Any ideas? If more input [config files, file permissions, etc.] needed, please
let me know!

Best regards,
