I have followed the tutorial videos on [lynda.com](http://lynda.com) for the music\_library  
video tutorial and i created a database with mysql that i downloaded  
seperately from the mysql website. I created a music\_library and  
created the work folder and rails app. I created the database in mysql  
called music\_library\_development and a few tables inside that  
database. but when i run rake db:migrate i get the following:

C:\Documents and Settings\Mark J.\>cd c:\Sites\music\_library

C:\Sites\music\_library\>rake db:migrate  
(in C:/Sites/music\_library)  
rake aborted!  
Unknown database ‘music\_library\_development’

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

C:\Sites\music\_library\>

I have no idea what im really doing as i have never programmed or  
anything. The only languages i know are HTML and CSS so ruby on rails  
is a completely new thing for me. I am running a PC with Windows XP.  
Can someone please help me! Please!

Try entering your database configuration details in file: database.yml  
within your Ruby on Rails project. Regards. Walter.
