Rails - Mar 2006 - Sql error using MAMP with rails 1.1

Hi,

I am newbie and i am using MAMP with rails for trying out few things in 
web development.

I just upgraded to rails 1.1 and created a new rails depot project and 
when i just gone to change my database.yml, I get this

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
development:
  adapter: mysql
  database: depot_development
  username: root
  password: root
  host: localhost
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

and I added

socket: /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock to the end of database.

and if i generate scaffold i get this error

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

how can i connect my MAMP socket to the database.yml file and go on with 
the project.

thanx
g.balaji
