Not Yet Hooked up with Sqlite ? get back to Mysql !

The lastest version of rails uses Sqlite ! Is that a problem ? Not at all!

After doing the usual installation (post your comment if you need installation instructions) of ROR and its dependencies now you want to create your first rails application ;

$rails -d mysql myapp

and database.yml should look like this:

# MySQL (default setup). Versions 4.1 and 5.0 are recommended.
#
# Install the MySQL driver:
# gem install mysql
# On MacOS X:
# gem install mysql -- --include=/usr/local/lib
# 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
database: myapp_development
username: username
password: pwd
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
database: myapp_test
username: username
password: pwd
host: localhost

production:
adapter: mysql
database: myapp_production
username: username
password: pwd
host: localhost
