Hi,   Even if you have mysql installed you will need to get the mysql adapter written in C for rails. By default, rails ships with the adapter written in ruby. To do this , just execute ' gem install mysql '.

Now, for your rails application to use mysql db instead of the default sqlite3, use the following command,   ' rails <app_name> -d mysql '

This will configure the rails app to use mysql instead of sqlite3. You can verify this by checking the 'database.yml' file once the app is created.

Hope this helps.
