Bring up a "ruby console" window in IR and (from the top directory of the app) try "ruby script/console". You can then try to access your database and see what the reaction is. Try something like "a=Tablename.new" to see what happens when the app tries to get the attributes of the ar class. When that works you can try things like "b=Tablename.find :all" to fetch all of the members of a particular ar class. (Both of the Tablenames are an AR class so they should be singular where the table is plural). If you can access the tables you know your database connection works so you can go on to other problems.
