Learning Rails

I’m teaching myself Rails. As far as I can tell, I’m going to have a lot of fun with this language. BUT, there’s a problem:

I can’t figure out how to get MySQL working with it.

I’ve already got an apache test server installed on my machine with PHP/MySQL working. However, as far as I can tell, Rails won’t actually use the current MySQL installation as it uses a specific MySQL engine and I can’t access MySQL commands for the command window(which you NEED to be able to do to use it with Rails).

Anybody have any reading or advice for me that might help me solve my problem?

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

Also, is it possible to sync Rails up with my current Apache setup? If so, how?
