Ok I think I answered that question by doing this:

    cd ~/apps/.labrador
    rails s -p 3002
    firefox localhost:3002/~/apps/myapp

now I get:

    No such file or directory - /tmp/mysql.sock

You guessed right. This is how you run the app without pow. Next on my todo list is adding url path option to the readme for non OSX users, and maybe recommending something like `alias labrador-start='cd ~/.labrador && bundle exec rails s -p 5200`. I've successfully had things up and running on Ubuntu with mysql. Do you have the socket: defined in your database.yml?
