Hi

I guess each beginner on rails would face this problem
I faced it too when i started working on rails :slight_smile:

the solution is to create a new project using this command

rails project -d mysql

-d mysql will generate the database.yml for mysql in accordance to
your platform

so copy this file and paste it in your original project, restart the
server, and enjoy

if anyone has a better way, please do tell us

thanks
