Rails - Sep 2008 - Newbie question - Using RoR with mysql on leopard

Hi, I am completely new to RoR and I''m just going through the
lynda.com tutorial to try and get me started. I have everything
installed and running, the only problem is that the tutorial uses
mysql and as I am sure you already know, leopard uses sql lite as
standard.

I would ideally like to use mysql as well so I can follow the video
without having to interpret what I need to change for sql lite. I have
installed the mysql gem and I have mysql running but if I go to my app
in the browser (the standard RoR page) and then the about your
application bit, it says I am using sqlite3.

Does anyone know how I can get this working?

Sorry about the long post, just wanted to give as much info as
possible. :)

You need to change your database.yml to tell it to connect to mysql.
If you haven''t gone very far you might find it easier to just generate
a fresh application that is already setup to use mysql with rails -d
mysql

hi thanks for that, I tried makinga new application by putting this in
the terminal "rails -d mysql test_app" it created fine but when I
start the server and go to http://localhost:8888/ I get a page load
error... Any idea what I can do to fix this? Maybe I did something
wrong at install?

Why port 8888 ? Did you start the server on that port ? If the server
is dying then it should be screaming about something in it''s logs
(which are echoed to the terminal if you''ve just done script/server)
