Did you configure the database: http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#configuring-a-database

Hi Darian,

I have configured my database.This is my database.yml

development:

adapter: mysql

encoding: utf8

reconnect: false

database: abhidb

pool: 5

username: root

password:root

host: localhost

Warning: The database defined as “test” will be erased and

re-generated from your development database when you run “rake”.

Do not set this db to the same as development or production.

test:

adapter: mysql

encoding: utf8

reconnect: false

database: abhidb

pool: 5

username: root

password:root

host: localhost

production:

adapter: mysql

encoding: utf8

reconnect: false

database: abhidb

pool: 5

username: root

password: root

host: localhost

Not sure if this will help, but try adding a space between the password:

From this:

password:root

to this:

password: root
