ReCaptcha | BackgroundRB | Development dbase server Set up the tools for the project

1. SVN location is at " svn+ssh://yourusername@smithers.cs.indiana.edu/u/cnets/repos/givealink/trunk"
2. Set up the database
   • In the mysql command line issue, "create database givealink_development"
   • Issue, "CREATE USER 'bmarkine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'five4fighting';"
   • Issue, "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON givealink_development.* TO 'bmarkine'@'localhost'
   • In givealink root for example, "~/Documents/workspace/givealink" on a Mac, issue "rake db:migrate"
   • (Attention: After setting up your local config/database.yml and starting the local mysql, if you get a message like "ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid:Mysql::Error:query:not connected: ...", the possible reason may be that MySQL 5.1 client library doesn't work well with Rails 2.2+. The solution is simple: download an older MySQL client library libmySQL.dl: http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/InstantRails-win/InstantRails/mysql/bin/libmySQL.dll and copy it to your Rubybin folder. I'm sure it works for Ruby 1.8.6+Rails 2.3.4+mysql 5.1.36.)
