password: YES)
this is all I have in my database.yml file:
development:
adapter: mysql
database: devel
user: root
password: xxxxxx
host: localhost

This is a Rails question (Ruby is a language) - further discussion

Run this at a command prompt:
mysql -uroot
If you get in (very likely for out-of-the-box MySQL), then take out the
password
line in that YAML file!

i took out the password in the database.yml file and now it says that my
devel database is Unknown. I made sure the database is there, so I don’t
know what the problem is.

No bump: Post a new, complete request to the Ruby on Rails Talk forum at
Google
Groups!
Make sure to tell them what ‘show databases;’ returns inside MySQL!
