[otrs] MySQL socket error

3 Aug 2005

      Hi all ,

Ok finally got the Config.pm file setup (correctly I hope:P) , getting 
the following error when trying to connect to the interface:

Error: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' ([..]

Traceback: ERROR: OTRS-CGI-10 Perl: 5.8.5 OS: linux Time: Wed Aug  3 
14:23:59 2005

Message: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket 
'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)

Traceback (11236):
    Module: Kernel::System::DB::new (v1.44) Line: 168
    Module: Kernel::System::Web::InterfaceAgent::Run (v1.7) Line: 150
    Module:

    Module: ModPerl::RegistryCooker::default_handler (v1.80) Line: 168
    Module: ModPerl::Registry::handler (v1.99) Line: 30

The traceback is totally unfamiliar ground for me , so any help would be 
appreciated.

Also here is a snip of my Config.pm (MySQL stuff)
# DatabaseHost
     # (The database host.)
     $Self->{'DatabaseHost'} = 'localhost';
     # Database
     # (The database name.)
     $Self->{'Database'} = 'otrs';
     # DatabaseUser
     # (The database user.)
     $Self->{'DatabaseUser'} = 'otrs';
     # DatabasePw
     # (The password of database user. You also can use bin/CryptPassword.pl
     # for crypted passwords.)
     $Self->{'DatabasePw'} = 'hot';
     # DatabaseDSN
     # (The database DSN for MySQL ==> more: "man DBD::mysql")
     $Self->{DatabaseDSN} = 
"DBI:mysql:database=$Self->{Database};host=$Self->{DatabaseHost};";

TIA!!!
