The “Instant Rails” software was installed and is failing to look at  
MySQL. Yet it appears to see it. I can see a project which is  
currently existing on the dbase.

The error message that I receive is  
MySQL port (3306 is used by “(mysqld-nt.exe)”

The my.ini config file is as follows…

; ---------------------- IMPORTANT ---------------------------;  
; ${path} is used to specify Instant Rails installation path. ;  
;-------------------------------------------------------------;

; This is version 5 of MySQL  
[mysqld]  
datadir=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\data  
basedir=C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0  
bind-address=127.0.0.1  
; Uncomment for use on USB key  
; skip-innodb

What is wrong ? Mongrel comes up with the address 0.0.0.0:3000

Rails can see the project on MySQL as it shows on the Rails  
Applications. It can also see the structure. The “steelfab”  
application can be seen.

Do you have a copy of MySQL installed seperate from Instant Rails (IR)?  
If  
so, you’ll either need to shut it down prior to starting IR, shut down  
MySQL  
within IR, or change the configs for your multiple copies of MySQL so  
each  
one is running on a different port.

HTH,
