Hi!  
Im not only a complete newbie to this forum, I am also unsuccessfully  
trying to get a ruby on rails application started. The application is  
working until you try to access the database. The problem is that there  
is a database schema that needs to be loaded through the Instant Rails  
mySQL-server, that is not loaded.

I was wondering if anyone knows (I bet its really easy?) how to do this,  
and would mind helping me out with this?

Hi  
As a beginner you can refer  
[http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/tutorial/index.html](http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/tutorial/index.html)  
for your first database application.
