> Why keep asking if you're not going to take any advice? :-) I can only take the right advise... I took Jeff's advise to change the database.yml file. What OS are you using? Under windows, under control panel, there's no path variable setting. If there is, please tell me where? I'm a web developer and not a programmer ;) As you've already been told, config/database.yml is the > file with your database settings. I have already changed my database.yml file as follows, as per Jeff's advise: # MySQL. Versions 4.1 and 5.0 are recommended. # # Install the MySQL driver: # gem install mysql # On Mac OS X: # sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local/mysql # On Mac OS X Leopard: # sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql- config=/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql_config # This sets the ARCHFLAGS environment variable to your native architecture # On Windows: # gem install mysql # Choose the win32 build. # Install MySQL and put its /bin directory on your path. # # And be sure to use new-style password hashing: # http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html development: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 reconnect: false database: music_library_development pool: 5 username: root password: host: localhost # Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and # re-generated from your development database when you run "rake". # Do not set this db to the same as development or production. test: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 reconnect: false database: music_library_test pool: 5 username: root password: host: localhost production: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 reconnect: false database: music_library_production pool: 5 username: root password: host: localhost Please some of us a new to Ruby, so you have to speak in laymen's terms so we can follow you. All I need to know is: how to "tell" ruby to use mysql?
