Obviously you are on windows and I am quite rusty on on windows/ruby on rails development so this may or may not work.
Can you connect to MySQL from command line? Install MySQL command line client if you haven't done so already and try to connect to your mysql database. If you can then this is a gem installation problem. Also, I don't see a TCP/IP socket statement in your database.yml as in this example file below: development: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 database: rubyweblog_development username: root password: socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock <-- this statement is missing in your database.yml I am not sure what the Windows equivalent is anymore. If you have installed InstantRails then look it up in the database.yml that it generates. If you do get an error when using mysql command line client to connect to mysql database then I would look there first. Typically, you have to make sure that mysql/bin is in your windows path.
