Question

Hopefully this is a simple problem to fix

I have installed the Ruby installer for windows, installed mysql 5.5 and have configured mysql to listen on port 3000

When I run the mysql server and then try to run webrick with rails s i get the error message

Only one usage of each socket is normally permitted bind(2)

So both servers are trying to run off the same port? I cannot use them both at the same time, if i kill the processes on localhost:3000 then both services are reset

is there a way of configuring these to both work at the same time?

EDIT

My config/database.yml file

development:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: library_development
pool: 5
username: root
password:
host: localhost
port: 3000

Has anyone come across this before, very frustrating

Answer 1

Use the -p flag to specify that webrick bind to a different port. Something like

rails server -p 3001 # Assuming you are starting via command prompt

That should allow both services to run simultaneously.
