[JS] The file paths were all the same, actually, and the address for MySQL is 
just “localhost”.

[WB]Consider to use MySQL on Unix like environment because the socket file. 
This way you will get more performance then use TCP/IP on MS Windows.

[JS] That’s an interesting suggestion. Windows has socket files, but I’ve never 
looked at them. In fact, I don’t even know if MySQL can us a socket file and  
TCP/IP at the same time. We’re going to have more ODBC traffic than web 
traffic, I expect.


On Windows they aren't called "sockets", they are "named pipes" and yes you can be listening to both internal and external connections at the same time.

--enabled-named-pipe
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/server-options.html#option_mysqld_enable-named-pipe

When connecting locally, you have both options at your disposal
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/connecting.html

There is even another option for Windows, --shared-memory
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/server-options.html#option_mysqld_shared-memory

This works similar to a named pipe and if you want to enable both (pipes and shares) at the same time, you need to provide different names. The TCP/IP ports are independent and also available.
