I have a mysql database “dummy” which is a copy of the database I was  
using with php. Things are basically setup?

[thufir@localhost ~]$  
[thufir@localhost ~]$ cat /home/thufir/dummy/config/database.yml

# MySQL (default setup). Versions 4.1 and 5.0 are recommended.

# 

# Install the MySQL driver:

# gem install mysql

# On MacOS X:

# gem install mysql – --include=/usr/local/lib

# On Windows:

# gem install mysql

# Choose the win32 build.

# Install MySQL and put its /bin directory on your path.

# 

# And be sure to use new-style password hashing:

# [http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html](http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html)

development:  
adapter: mysql  
database: dummy\_development  
username: feeds  
password: password  
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

# 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.
