Hello there, this is my first post and I''m new to Ruby on Rails. I''m getting the following error when I do "rake db:create" : (in /home/nelson/rubyapps/blog) rake aborted! syntax error on line 24, col 1: ` socket : /var/run/mysqld/ mysqld.sock'' Now the background: I installed Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 in a Sun VirtualBox virtual machine running in a Windows XP host Following Ubuntu installation I followed this guide : http://www.hackido.com/2009/11/install-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu-karmic.html until STEP 6 , included, to have RoR installed on the Ubuntu box In step 1 I set my locale to pt-PT (I''m from Portugal) using sudo locale-gen pt_PT.UTF-8 and sudo /usr/sbin/update-locale LANG=pt_PT.UTF-8 Next I followed this guide: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html to have RoR installed to a mysql database When I get to step 3.4 Creating the Database I get the error displayed above. Note : I have a password defined in the database.yml file for the DEVELOPMENT area, that reads as : development: adapter : mysql enconding : utf8 reconnect : false database : blog_development pool : 5 username : root password : <mypassword, same when installed mysql> socket : /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock The only thing I changed in this file was the password. Any clue on why I get this error? Thanks in advance, Nelson -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
