I am very new to ROR’s. I am taking an SQL class and installed MySQL previously, and just installed ROR’s last night. I am following some of the essential training on [lynda.com](http://lynda.com) and got stuck trying to do the database. Do I need to change something in the MySQL? I have a command prompt already for MySQL. I was not able to create the databse via reg command prompt, but did in the MySQL prompt. Below is what I did, so maybe someone can give me some hinters?
