I actually ran into this myself, and you probaly have the same problem. try
logging into mysql with non-root user and with default RedHat installation
(that is what I am using) you will fail. mysql connectivity from the app to
the database is done through unix sockets
/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
the default permissions for the /var/lib/mysql directory are for the mysql
user only, and of course root can access it, but vpopmail user cannot. I
just gave the directory world readable permissions, this did the trick. i am
wondering if there is another way to do this ? i actually didn't see
anything about this issue in the first 5 pages of the mailing list archive .
