Subject: .yml/host: localhost fails in Rails app generation

I'm running mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.15, for Win32 (ia32) on a WinXP/SP2 
system.

I'm trying to build the Depot application described in Chap. 5 of Agile Web 
Dev. w. Rails, (c) 2005.

The generated database.yml file in depot\config contains several entries of 
"socket: /path/to/your/mysql.sock".  I couldn't find an "mysql.sock" file 
anywhere  on my system.

Thomas' depiction of the .yml file includes the line "host: localhost" 
instead,  so I made the switch to that instead of the "socket: ...:" entry.

Following Thomas' lead, I ran the cmd "ruby script/generate scaffold Product 
Admin".  It ran fine until it reported "Client does not support 
authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL 
client".  Other Rails examples have worked fine, so I don't believe any 
upgrade will solve my problem.

Any ideas how I can get around this roadblock?
