Hi

Hope you can help, new to this.

Installed Radiant everything seems to be installed as per the  
installation guide.

However when i go to the next step to rake the database it does the  
following:

rake db:bootstrap

Rake aborted!  
unknown database ‘example\_development’

i do understand the the name of the database need to be place in the  
database.yml file.

I am using mysql, how do you create the database?

Thanks in advance
