unable to create mysql db in rails

rubyonrails-talk
1

so when i used rake db:create

(<unknown>): could not find expected ':' while scanning a simple key at line 14 column 3

So, what is line 14 ?

... and should i keep test and production same in config/database.yml ??

The "same" as what?

The “same” as what? i mean to say test and production code same as in default

Uh, what? Even if you're using a code editor that doesn't show line numbers, I would hope you can count.

But please, start by installing a suitable editor.

i changed

socket:/tmp/mysql.sock to socket: /tmp/mysql.sock and thar error has gone but i face new error now…it says

rake aborted!

Please install the mysql2 adapter: gem install activerecord-mysql2-adapter (mysql2 is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile.)

And it will be hard forever, if you don't read and act on the messages you're presented with. The above gives you specific actions to take; have you done them? If not, why not?
