Subject: Re: mysql for win


Hello,

I've had this very issue. This is because this lines in mysql.rb:

--8<------
    if (host == nil or host == "localhost") and defined? UNIXSocket then
      unix_socket = socket || ENV["MYSQL_UNIX_PORT"] || MYSQL_UNIX_ADDR
      sock = UNIXSocket::new(unix_socket)
      @host_info = Error::err(Error::CR_LOCALHOST_CONNECTION)
      @unix_socket = unix_socket
------>8--

you can "fix" this by changing the "if" statement or connect to 127.0.0.1 (or the name of the machine), this will lead to use inet sockets instead unix ones. Hope it helps.

Bye
