To create a rails app that uses mysql instead of the default of sqlite
you can run the command "rails myappsname -d mysql"

(this assumes you have mysql installed)

Best.

mysql should be downloaded and installed
There is a mysql driver that should be installed as well.

Driver?

Install MySQL separate using either the installer for Windows or rpm/
source if you are on a unix system. Make sure mysql is working and is
listening to a port that you can connect to. (like 3306)

Either create a new rails project with -d mysql or edit your confg/
database.yml to look like this:

development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
database: database_devel
username: root
password:
port: 3306

By default there is a ruby driver that is installed WITH rails so
there is no need to install anything to get MySQL working with rails.
There is a NATIVE gem that you can install to get better performance
for MySQL and this is recommended for production .... Something like
this:

gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config (if mysql is in your path)
