Ruby on Rails

I am trying to follow RESTful Rails Development from O'Reilly by Silvia
Puglisi.

I have created an app (wikicat), database (MySQL), models (category and
link), controllers (CategoryController show) and routes. I have followed
everything that the book said (taking in to consideration the published
errata) and I am going round and round in circles trying to fix an
ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished error.

I am running on Linux Mint 17.2 with:

Rails version 4.1.4
mysql version 14.14 Distribution 5.5.46



I have started mysql server. My Gemfile has been bundled and is shown
below:



source 'https://rubygems.org'

# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails', '4.1.4'
gem 'rails-api'

# Use mysql as the database for Active Record
gem 'mysql2', '~> 0.3.18'

#Serialiser for JSON
gem 'active_model_serializers'
group :doc do
  #bundle exec rake doc:rails generates the API under doc/api
  gem 'sdoc', '~>0.4.0'
end
group :development do
  #Spring speeds up development by keeping your application
  #running in the background. Read more:
  #https://github.com/rails/spring
  gem 'spring'
end



There isn't an application trace, but there is a framework trace which I
have pasted below:

Is there anything in there telling me why I can't get a connection?
Thank you for your patience with my newbie query.
