I'm following instructions from a hand-over package from a previous group. I don't know too much about rails or mysql2. I am on Windows.
When I do:
rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
This is the output:
C:\jcccf-goslowserver-e30bf00>rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
(in C:/jcccf-goslowserver-e30bf00)
rake aborted!
Unknown database 'goslow_production'

I've read about having to use db:create first but I'm worried that I'll be erasing what's already there from the handover source code. Does this not make sense?
These are the instructions I was given.
...
3. Configure your MySQL settings in config/database.yml for "production"
4. Open the console (cmd on Windows, Terminal on Mac/Linux) and cd to the GoSlow directory
5. Type "rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production" and press enter.
6. Type "rake bootstrap:all RAILS_ENV=production" and press enter.
(then I assume I just do rails server, it doesn't specify)
Here is my database.yml file which is in config/database.yml relative to where I'm typing these commands.
# MySQL. Versions 4.1 and 5.0 are recommended.
#
# Install the MySQL driver:
# gem install mysql2
#
# And be sure to use new-style password hashing:
# http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html
development:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: GoSlow_development
pool: 5
username: root
password:
host: localhost
# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: GoSlow_test
pool: 5
username: root
password:
host: localhost
production:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: GoSlow_production
pool: 5
username: root
password: [MyPassword]
host: localhost
Any thoughts on why it wouldn't be working?
Running the command
rake db:create
is enough to avoid the error.
