Subject: Re: ruby on rails with mysqladmin

Have you checked your task manager to see if the mysql service is
running? Can you get into mysql with just: mysql -u root and then
create it through there? Did you restart your computer? Have you tried
uninstalling and reinstalling mysql?

if yes to all of these, then I have no clue hopefully someone else
does.
