Rails - Aug 2006 - Getting mysql.sock error

Sort of a noob question:

I keep getting the following error:

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

RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/../

from the downloaded code for Agile''s depot app. Could someone point me 
in the right direction?

Hello J,
    Your running (or installed) mysql from a unix distribution, rather 
than compiling it from source. This means that the distribution has 
decided to put the socket file someplace.. ''unique'' ;) Look in
your
my.cnf (usually located in /etc/ or /etc/mysql) and look for the 
''socket'' line. Ubuntu usually puts the socket file in 
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock. If you don''t want to have lots of
heartache
and hardship, you can either edit the my.cnf to put the socket file in 
/tmp/ or you can create a symbolic link (ln -s 
/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock /tmp/mysqld.sock)

    I assume this makes sense ? :)
    Regards
    Stef
