Problem in Database Connection

Rails
1

Hi guys,

I have installed rails on my LINUX machine and was following a tutorial
on following link

But I was unable to proceed after creating respective tables in MySQL
database.
When I executed command,

ruby script\generate controller Recipe

it worked fine. The next step was to add a line
scaffold :recipe
to the file recipe_controller.rb . I did that. But when I wrote

      http://localhost:3000/recipe/new

inside my browser window, it gave me an error,

Errno::ENOENT in RecipeController#new

No such file or directory - /tmp/mysql.sock

RAILS_ROOT: script/…/config/…

What do I do now???

Thanks & Regards,

Dhiraj Mundada

No such file or directory - /tmp/mysql.sock

Your mysql.sock file may be in a different directory (or even called
differently). Consult your MySQL configuration or use find / -name mysql.sock to find its whereabouts and adjust your config/database.yml
accordingly.

Roderick

If you can’t find out by yourself, you should consider buying a book
about Rails. You will have many more questions and there’s no free
helpdesk.

But here you go:

socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
