1. 

Go to config/database.yml

development:  
adapter: mysql  
database: development  
username: root  
password: PASSWORD  
host: localhost  
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock  
timeout: 5000

Now rails can connect to the database. If not, you have to make  
database in mysq command line

mysql -u root -p  
create database development;
