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

[Drew Mooney]

Further to this - I AM able to connect to mysql via the command line as user
'rtadm' [the rt user and group name at my site]. Which 'user' is trying to
connect to mysql via the apache DBI?

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'

[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!
