I just installed ruby on rails on windows.

install mysql and created a new project. Then I changed database.yml to use my own mysql server as follow

development:
adapter: mysql
database: mytools

when I try to access story controller(http://localhost:3000/stories), error shows

“SQLite3::SQLException: no such table: stories: SELECT * FROM “stories” “

    By default Rails creates and uses a SQLite database not a MySQL one.

    You can specify the database to use with the -d flag when creating your Rails application. For example to create a rails app called “sample” using mysql as the database:

    rails sample -d mysql
    

    Taken from the Getting Started with Rails guide.

    You might also want to check out the section on Configuring a MySQL Database in the same document.
