BTW, someone else put something up on a post on a blog ref why rake db:create gave him an error, because of his mysql user settings, here's what he said at the bottom of the following url:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/getting-started/installation/linux The only thing I had to do differently is use the “new” command to generate the new Rails project: rails new myrailsapp -d mysql Also, when I attempted to create the database with rake db:create, I kept getting access denied errors. I was able to resolve this problem by logging into mysql as root and then granting permission to my user: grant all privileges on *.* to dave@localhost identified by 'mypassword' with grant option; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
