I’m tryng to create a small Rails 2.02 app using my dreamhost account  
and not getting very far.

When running these commands:

> rails --d=mysql appname  
> cd appname  
> rake db:create:all

I then get a message:  
Warning: require\_gem is obsolete. Use gem instead.  
(in /home/.nivie/accountname/mysite.com/appname)  
“This task only creates local databases. appname\_development is on a  
remote host.”  
“This task only creates local databases. appname\_production is on a  
remote host.”  
“This task only creates local databases. appname\_test is on a remote  
host.”

Is there another way I should be creating the databases that will allow  
me to get some tables and basic scaffolding in place?

Thanks,
