something went wrong. Database.yml looks like this - development: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 database: pkdb username: pksa password: ***** host: localhost socket: /tmp/mysql.sock test: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8\ database: pkdb username: pksa password: **** host: localhost socket: /tmp/mysql.sock production: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 database: pkdb username: pksa password: **** host: localhost socket: /tmp/mysql.sock Not sure about the socket line, but I did add a similar line into my.ini for [client] and [mysqld] as follows: socket=C:/tmp/mysql.sock Did seem to work with mysqlite3, and choking my mysql as well. But I really don''t think it''s a database issue somehow. Any ideas for me going with RoR?
