I'm trying to install a Rails app on a Cygwin Rails + WAMP MySQL setup, but rake trows an error :
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2)
Of course, it's trying to connect to MySQL trought a Cygwin socket, and since there's no MySQL server running on Cygwin, it fails.
How do I get Rails to connect to WAMP's MySQL (perhaps through TCP/IP instead of a socket) ?
