MySQL thinks your database socket is somewhere other than where it is. 
There''s examples of how to specify the socket location in
config/database.yml, or you can just switch to using SQLite3 while
you''re
starting off.  If you want to do that, you can just replace your existing
development stanza with this:

development:
  adapter: sqlite3
  dbfile: db/devel
  
And make sure you''ve got the SQLite3 ruby library and the sqlite3
command
line tool available.

Thank you so much for your post!

I realized that I never installed the the mysql driver thru gem:

gem install mysql

Based on your response, I''m going to guess that this is my problem!


Thank you!
