[Rails] newbie generate scaffold

[3quid]

ok noted re:grovelling! hehe

yeh all the references to the error I could find referred to the  
browser displaying it.

i have granted rights to the user that I have specified in the  
databse.yml file and as you say that would spit out a different error.

when i get home I will  try recreating the databases/table but I dont  
see why it would be the issue.

My system is MacOSX 10.4.5, MySQL 4.1, RoR 1.1 .. (i have done the  
rbconfig repair that is needed for OSX10.4 Tiger)
