I am new to Rails and Ruby and I've had a similar problem with a remote copy of mysql running on a non-dns server on my internal home network. 192.168.0.101 is my Win7 Ruby development environment and a mysql server is running on 192.168.0.103 on a FreeBSD machine. I have the following settings in database.yml: development: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 reconnect: false database: myapp_development pool: 5 username: mysql host: !str "192.168.0.103" password: <password> port: 3306 I had a number of problems connecting to mysql when both were installed on Win7, in fact so many that I moved the server to UNIX. Using SQLite works fine, but I wanted to try MySQL. The first problem I had connecting was the IP address not being picked up by the YAML configuration file. After hours of haggling with various things, I found [!str "192.168.0.103"] works in converting the IP address to a proper string. http://yaml.org/YAML_for_ruby.html was a useful resource, since I am new to it. The second problem I had was in thinking "rake db:migrate" would create the database for me. But reading advice in this forum, I created it manually and that seemed to do the trick. Tables got created in it. Most people here probably already know this stuff but I thought I would post my experience anyway since it has been an all-day affair to fix. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Typo-list mailing list Typo-list@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/typo-list
