Setup Rails2 With Remote MySQL Database

1. Install the MySQL adapter

   gem install mysql

2. Open and Edit config/database.yml
   

   development:
   
   adapter: mysql
   
   database: yourDBName
   
   host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or hostName
   
   username: yourUserName
   
   password: yourPass
   
   port: 3306 or other
   
   

If running rake you get an Error message containing ‘development database is not configured (activerecord::adapternotspecified)’ this depend from a typo or extra-tab. Check accurately your database.yml.
