Wahey! ok, my server is running.

I started this tutorial:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#creating-a-new-rails-project

when i get to rake db:create  it tells me that the mysql.sock (i think
thats it) is missing or not there and to install it.

In my /Applications/rubystack-1.6-0/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock folder, it''s
definiteley there.

im still confused but getting there!
