Hi, Both commands (rake and rails) create a full new application directory structure. So
~/$rails blog -d mysql Creates two directories populated with new app sructure, one called "blog" and one called "mysql" ~/blog$rake db:create Creates a new app structure called "db:create". I've also tried ~/$rails blog -dmysql This gives invalid option errors. Versions: rake 0.8.1 ruby 1.8.7 rails 2.1.0 These were all installed using the Ubuntu package manager, but previously I have installed using gems, but still had the same problem. Ubuntu is running inside a virtual machine (VirtualBox), but I can't see why that should be a problem (at least not of this nature)...?
