Hi,
I am a newbie and are trying to install on my server and get:

BAD
Does administrative user have access to the database? ( Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) )
When trying to install

What can be the problem(s). Yes i have access.

Thanks/Ove

I am quite sure this is no MantisBT problem but a database configuration issue.
Maybe helps
