Hi, I’m trying to deploy a ruby project and I keep getting the  
following error

./script/…/config/…/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active\_record/  
connection\_adapters/abstract/connection\_specification.rb:204:in  
`establish_connection': development database is not configured (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified) from ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/ active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb: 195:in`establish\_connection’

active\_support/dependencies.rb:495:in `require’  
from ./script/…/config/…/vendor/rails/railties/lib/commands/  
server.rb:39

It says database is not configured but I have updated the database.yml  
file to point to the databases I’ve created. Here it is:

development:  
adapter: mysql  
database: predictoball  
username: predictoball  
password: 123456  
host: localhost

and the same thing copied and pasted for production.

Any ideas?

So did you make your mysql started?

Thanks a lot. That worked fine.

it’s not indented properly. that should be

development:  
adapter: mysql  
database: predictoball  
username: predictoball  
password: 123456  
host: localhost
