table not found...??

I'm in the process of making my way through Sitepoint's "Build your own Ruby on Rails Web applications" but I'm encountering an error.

I'm running on Leopard btw.

After running script/server, then loading localhost:3000 the page loads perfectly. When I click on "About your application’s environment" I get the following:

Ruby version 1.8.6 (universal-darwin9.0)
RubyGems version 1.0.1
Rails version 2.0.2
Active Record version 2.0.2
Action Pack version 2.0.2
Active Resource version 2.0.2
Action Mailer version 2.0.2
Active Support version 2.0.2
Application root /Users/liamks/Documents/programs/rails/shovell
Environment development
Database adapter mysql

However, when I go back to the terminal I get the following:
arameters: {"action"=>"properties", "controller"=>"rails/info"}
SQL (0.000215) SET NAMES 'utf8'
SQL (0.000103) SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL=0
SQL (0.000000) Mysql::Error: Table 'shovell_development.schema_info' doesn't exist: SELECT version FROM schema_info

I've checked mysql via MySQLadministrator and the Table shovell_development does exist. I'm not sure why it's giving this error!

my setup:
development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
database: shovell_development
username: root
password:
host: localhost
#socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

when I uncomment the socket line, and comment out the host it still works.

Hi,

Whereabouts in the book are you? Have you run your first migration yet?

"shovell_development" is the name of your database and Rails automatically keeps a table in that database called "schema_info" which tracks the current schema version that you are working under.

As an example, the first time you run a migration, your schema_info version will be 1 and will increment each time you migrate database structure.

once I ran my first migration the problem went away - thanks for the help!
