Switch database adapter

Rails
1

newbie question:

I am starting a new application via:

$ rails myapp

when I startup the webrick server via:

$ server/script webrick

and then goto http://localhost:3000/ and click on: “About your
applications environment”

it shows I am using the sqlite3 Databse Adapter.

How can I force my default db to be mysql?

Thanks

Ron

your environment/database.yml should look like it :
development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
database: mydb_development
username: my_username
password: my_password
host: localhost

do the same for production et test environements

Run…

$ rails -d mysql myapp

to preconfigure your app with mysql (or any other adapter). ah and
btw… have a look at the other arguments of the rails command too, run
rails --help.
