I am new to Drupal. I am reading a book called Definitive Guide to Drupal 7. I had installed Drush on Windows 7 with Git as well. It was working last week. Since 7.38 is released I tried to update my localhost website for this particular book and I am getting an error. I have googled this problem and I am coming up with some solutions but they are not working for me. I have navigated to the root folder of the Drupal installation in Git before using Drush Up. I have also changed the 'host' value in settings.php to '127.0.0.1'. It was 'localhost' before. I don't know how to fix this. Does anyone know?

$ drush up
Command pm-update needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will [error]
need to invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to run
this command.
The drush command 'up' could not be executed. [error]
Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database. [error]
Hint: This may occur when Drush is trying to:
* bootstrap a site that has not been installed or does not have a
configured database. In this case you can select another site with a
working database setup by specifying the URI to use with the --uri
parameter on the command line. See `drush topic docs-aliases` for
details.
* connect the database through a socket. The socket file may be
wrong or the php-cli may have no access to it in a jailed shell. See
http://drupal.org/node/1428638 for details.
