Just by looking at the log timestamps, your system is pretty clearly set
to start Apache (or whatever is serving RT) before mysql.  This isn't
RT's fault, but simply the wrong startup ordering for your system.  You
should change it so Apache/your webserver depends on mysql being started
first.  How to do so depends on your distribution.
