mysql.sock missing when starting mysql

PostPosted: 16. July 2015 14:10

I have XAMPP installed, and I want to use mysql.sock file for my rails app.

Now, when I start the MySQL server (from xampp control panel), it starts, I see it's PID, I can access the mysql command line etc, but I can't find the mysql.sock file anywhere.
I searched the whole xampp folder and C:\ partition and nothing.

I'm running under Windows 7.

Any idea what might could have gone wrong?

EDIT: Here's the error log, from mysql_error.log - this is what I see when i start MySQL from xampp control panel:

In the last line in the log, the socket is empty. Why is that? Maybe it's the key to solving my problem.
