So would that mean I would have to do the same if I am using WAMP?

Thanks for the time and efforts?

Mate – thanks for the tip about using MAMP – adding socket: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock
Much appreciated!!

I found the answwer here:

http://forum.refreshorlando.org/read.php?13,180,186http://forum.refreshorlando.org/read.php?13,180,186

Basically what the Locomotive Help doc won’t tell you is you have to add the string “socket: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock” to the config/database.yml file like so:

development:
adapter: mysql
database: myapp_development
username: root
password:
host: localhost
socket: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock

THEN, Locomotive and MAMP know how to play nice together for the rake!

Thanks!

i have appended the MAMP socket code, but still get an error on rake:

Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)

wondering what i am doing wrong…
