I’m working on uploading my site to dreamhost. I just setup my production database, and gave it a host name. It said that it was successfully created. Now, it’s been like 25 minutes, and I still can’t connect to it. Is that normal? How can I get my tables created? Just wait it out? I’m trying to load it in the browser, and it says “server not found” error. Hopefully someone has some suggestions for me. Thanks. ---

I think , you’d better create table with phpMyAdmin. 2006/3/14, ryan [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): > – > Posted via [http://www.ruby-forum.com/](http://www.ruby-forum.com/). > > * * * > > Rails mailing list > removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid > [http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails](http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails) – Best Regards, Caiwangqin [http://www.uuzone.com](http://www.uuzone.com) Mobile: +8613951787088 Tel: +86025-84818086 ext 233 Fax: +86025-84814993 ---

ok, how do I do that? I’ve used phpMyAdmin before, but not with Dreamhost. ---

usually, you can config it on dreamhost panel. 2006/3/14, ryan [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): > – Best Regards, Caiwangqin [http://www.uuzone.com](http://www.uuzone.com) Mobile: +8613951787088 Tel: +86025-84818086 ext 233 Fax: +86025-84814993 ---

Even though the dreamhost panel says that it has been created, it may take several hours before web server acess to the database works. In the meantime, just connect to it via the shell using the command line given (that may take an hour or more to activate as well). Kam ---

If you then want to access the database, go to this address in your browser: [DBHOSTNAME.YOURDOMAIN.com](http://DBHOSTNAME.YOURDOMAIN.com) Hope that helps.
