I am trying to resolve a problem with the MySQL client compiled under Cygwin. I am receiving the error: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) I fixed the problem by invoking MySQL like this: mysql -h 127.0.0.1 My Question is... How can I avoid having to type this "-h 127.0.0.1" in every time I access mysql from cygwin. I have made an alias for mysql in my .bashrc file and it works fine, but I feel like I am cheating. Do I have to rebuild from source to set the correct parameter?? If I do have to rebuild from source, could someone tell me what parameter to set so that I can build it correctly. Thanks in Advance for your help. And Thank You for reading my email.
