error with database connectivity

have you set your hosts file? I’m asking this because you need a name resolution for you host, since you’re using host: web. Instead you can try using host: ip.

Hi,

I’m new user to ruby on rails. I followed one tutorial but it is giving error while database connectivity. The error is:

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused

it. - connect(2)

my database.yml file is as follows. I’m trying to access MySql remotely.

development: adapter: mysql database: cookbook username: poonam password:poonam

host: web <---- HERE

Strange… What OS are you running?

Maybe the firewall is blocking connections to database system (which one?) . maybe you missspelled your IP on database.yml. Did you install the ruby connector to the database? These are all the things I can remember. I would approach it by: 1. confirm that the database is running 2. confirm that the firewall is not blocking connections 3. double check the database IP @ database.yml . 4. check if I had the database connector if not install it from the gems. 5. try again

This would be my umble approach. :slight_smile:

I'm using MySql database.

If you're just starting out with Rails and you're on Windows, consider using InstantRails (just google it) to help you get started! Cheers Mohit.
