It's looking for the file '/tmp/mysql.sock' to find out how to access the server. So either your MySQL server isn't running, or you need to somehow tell Rails that you're on Windows (maybe that's in that LAMP article?). Sorry I can't be of more help, but it's a start. -- Chris Wanstrath cwanstrath@gmail.com
