Problem when porting

Rails
1

Hello,

I am a total beginner when it comes to rails and would like to know are
there any issues with porting rails from freebsd to windows?
This is the error that I have

Bad file descriptor - /tmp/mysql.sock

I am not sure if this would help or not but I am currently on a cygwin
environment

thanks if anyone can help

I’m not sure if socket-based MySQL runs on Windows… have you tried
changing your database.yml file to point to localhost at port 3600
instead?
Comment out the socket part of the config.

No such file or directory - /tmp/mysql.sock

I also downloaded some sameple code from agile web development rails
book
and I still get the same problem. Has anyone had any issues with
cygwin
and rails?
