Thanks for the help! It is greatly appreciated. I spoke with the person who was helping me to set up the rails environment.
He said that mysql had already been installed. So I typed this command into terminal in order to start mysql: mysql.server start ____ Then I got another error: Unknown database 'simple_cms_development' this was resolved by typing the following into terminal: bin/rake db:create db:migrate The problem is resolved. Now I am able to successfully move forward with the class. Thanks again -Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
