I went through the rails project wizard. The second page appears to say that NO DB config is being done... as in the app will not attempt to use a DB. When I run the app, it attempts to connect to mysql.... which is not running on my machine. If I were to use a db... i would be using javadb...

The idea is that wizard configures the database only if you do specify something on the second page; otherwise it just defaults to what "rails AppName --database=mysql" generates. I see that this can be confusing for folks who haven't been using the command line generator, but I think changing the wizard so that it would configure Rails to run w/o a db in this case could be equally confusing (in particular as this is the first report on this). I'm downgrading to a P4 for now, will upgrade the priority again if more users bring this up. PS. Just in case you'd like to know how to run Rails w/o a db - check config/environment.rb, it contains the following: # Skip frameworks you're not going to use. To use Rails without a database, # you must remove the Active Record framework. # config.frameworks -= [ :active_record, :active_resource, :action_mailer ] So just uncommenting the last line does the trick.
