I’m not sure if it’s the same for all OS, but you can try this:
your_app/config/database.yml

SQLite version 3.x

gem install sqlite3-ruby (not necessary on OS X Leopard)

development:
adapter: mysql
database: your_database
username: user
password: password

Warning: The database defined as “test” will be erased and

re-generated from your development database when you run “rake”.

Do not set this db to the same as development or production.

test:
adapter: mysql
database: your_database_test
username: user
password: password

production:
adapter: mysql
database: your_database_production
username: user
password: password

Once both of those are successful, you can configure database.yml to
point to a valid schema a try it out.

I have tried this in my system(fedora 8) and I am getting this error

[root@xenhost]# gem install sqlite3-ruby

Install the following gems.

  1. Rails
  2. MySQL (try sudo gem install mysql – --with-mysql-config=/usr/bin/
    mysql-config if the normal sudo gem install mysql fails)

Once both of those are successful, you can configure database.yml to
point to a valid schema a try it out.

Why are you doing this if you want to use MySQL?

Nik, Le Sa had explained you how to configure the databases.yml.

Follow his instructions, but keep in mind that you would have to
configure the socket (if your mySQL server have one) and maybe your
mySQL host and port. For development and testing environment you
should use sqlite but in production you’ll like a more robust database
engine.

Sample configuration for a production environment:

production:
adapter: mysql
database: your_database_production
username: your_mySQL_user
password: your_mySQL_password
socket: /path/to/your/socket
host: /your/mySQL/host (probably localhost)
port: your_mySQL_port

Let’s go back to the beginning here…

First, you said you are using redhat and you said you already have mysql
installed and rails installed. In that case you just need to have the
gem installed.

The gem is the hard part, depending on which “ruby” version you are
using. So, try the following first:

sudo gem install mysql

… if you get failures installing that gem and you are using ruby 1.9.x
…

Do…

sudo gem install hectoregm-mysql-ruby

Once any of those gems installs… test to make sure it works…

Run IRB

type require ‘mysql’

The output should show => True

…

If you get this far then you just need to create your new project and
specify that you want to use mysql. You can do this a few ways. First
way is if you have a really good IDE (the IDE will do it for you when
you create your project (netbeans for example does this). The second
way is to specify your database in the database.yml file.

development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: name_of_your_database_here
pool: 5
username: root
password:
host: localhost

Then you need to run a rake DB create task to create the database based
on the specifications of the database.yml file.

rake db:create (which works for the current environment database
specified)
… or …
rake db:create:all (which creates all databases specified in
database.yml)

Hope that helps.

Thank u Älphä Blüë
I have a doubt please clarify…
How do we know the contents of the database.yml file.
does this command is the right one to use $vim /configure/database.yml

One more thing I am getting this thing if i go for rake

$rake db:migrate

rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb,
Rakefile.rb)
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2377:in

Set MySQL from the start

$ rails -d mysql app_name
