From: David Corbin Date: 2005-04-27T19:11:03+09:00 Subject: Rails database access problem 1) I've configured my "config/database.xml" adapter to point at /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, which is what my mysqld specifies on the command line. I checked, and the socket exists, and is readable and writeabel by everyone. However, I still get the following error: [dcorbin@bass ~/projects/app] rake (in /home/dcorbin/projects/app) rake aborted! database configuration specifies nonexistent /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock adapter ./Rakefile:15 Please help. 2) Is this list really the best place to get rails-specific support? I can find no other specific list. David
