Rt newbie confused

Just done an install - rtadmin doesnt run (see below)

rt version 1.0.7
Perl version: 5.6.0
mysql version: 3.23.22
Linux 2.2.16-22smp
Redhat 7.0 with updates

rtadmin -queue create aqueue
gives me:
Mysql->connect(database=rt;host=localhost) failed: Can’t connect to local MySQL
server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (111) at
/opt/rt/lib/rt/database.pm line 24
[connectdb] Database connect failed: Can’t connect to local MySQL server
through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (111)
Compilation failed in require at /opt/rt/lib/rt/database/admin.pm line 8.
Compilation failed in require at /opt/rt/bin/rtmux.pl line 40.

I can do a ‘mysql -u root -p -h localhost rt’ sucessfully, and issue sql
commands. Only sql error I can find is in /var/lib/mysql/host.err :
010227 21:34:25 mysqld started
010227 21:34:25 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can’t create/write to file
‘/var/run/mysqld.pid’ (Errcode: 13)
/usr/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections

I’m a complete martian with mysql - so I don’t know if the above is relevant.

Anybody run into something similar? Maybe my perl-sql modules don’t work
properly? Not quite sure how to check version there.

Any clues?
Thanks
Yan
PS - I did look for list archives, but failed to find them if they do exist!

Apologies folks - found the problem:

drwx------ 5 mysql mysql 4096 Feb 27 21:37 /var/lib/mysql

Silly permissions if you ask me! I’m sure it’s a “good thing” for some reason
unknown to me! but for the time being, I’ve changed the perms to 755. Works a
charm.

About to start sorting out requests!
Brilliant tool
Well done Jesse!
