Install - Freeradius can't connect to MySQL

[Cliff Hayes]

Hello,

Warning - newbie installing Freeradius.

I get this in the radius.log even though the sql.conf has the correct
host/user/password (and I can access MySQL from the command line using the
same login criteria):

Wed Jun  7 14:01:52 2006 : Info: rlm_sql_mysql: Starting connect to MySQL
server for #0
Wed Jun  7 14:01:52 2006 : Error: rlm_sql_mysql: Couldn't connect socket to
MySQL server root at localhost:radius
Wed Jun  7 14:01:52 2006 : Error: rlm_sql_mysql: Mysql error 'Can't connect
to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (13)'
Wed Jun  7 14:01:52 2006 : Error: rlm_sql (sql): Failed to connect DB handle

Wed Jun  7 14:01:52 2006 : Info: Ready to process requests.

Thanks,

Cliff
