Create the table in phpmyadmin as you suggest, name the database something_development. It is then linked to the rails application by config\database.yml. You will need something in there like:
development: adapter: mysql database: something_development username: username password: password host: localhost where username and password are those configured for mysql in phpmyadmin (in the Priviliges link from the phpmyadmin first page). Unless you have changed it then username root and no password will probably work. 2009/2/8 stretch <[email protected]> > > ending with _development is the convention for the NAME of the dev db > not the tables > > On Feb 8, 1:14 am, priyankeshu <[email protected]> wrote: > > hi thre i have just started learning ROR (following video tutorial by > > VTC) but on the video they were teaching on MAC, i thought i can > > follow along on window with instantrails... it was going fine > > > > i got the instantrails set up and yes i can test apps like mycookbook > > 127.0.0.1:3000 and like so.. > > > > so far so good... > > > > but after that when in the video tutorial the guy started creating a > > new database for a new project it created in some Mac program so i was > > not able to follow exactly on windows > > > > however, i did went in to Phpmyadmin to create the database for it, > > now i do not know .. how to link that database to my app...
