Hello Bruce, i think Dan is correct. Rails usually look out for database in some cases even if it doesnt have to. But if you havent set a password in MySQL while installing in the first case then you dont need to fill the password blank. Also, which MySQL are you using ?
Now, if u have set a password then in that case you will have to login as "mysql -u root -p" It will ask u the password after you enter this command. Once you put the password it will not pop any such error.
