Hi,
Even if you have mysql installed you will need to get the mysql
adapter written in C for rails. By default, rails ships with the
adapter written in ruby. To do this , just execute ’ gem install mysql
'.

Now, for your rails application to use mysql db instead of the default
sqlite3, use the following command,
’ rails <app_name> -d mysql ’

This will configure the rails app to use mysql instead of sqlite3. You
can verify this by checking the ‘database.yml’ file once the app is
created.

Hope this helps.
