Ruby on Rails

Hello Bruce, i think Dan is correct.
Rails usually look out for database in some cases even if it doesnt
have to.
But if you havent set a password in MySQL while installing in the
first case then you dont need to fill the password blank.
Also, which MySQL are you using ?

Now, if u have set a password then in that case you will have to login
as
"mysql -u root -p"
It will ask u the password after you enter this command.
Once you put the password it will not pop any such error.
