From what directory did you run the command 'rake db:migrate? You should navigate to your RoR application directory in the terminal/console.

Re: rake db:migrate throwing error and active record connection not establ

Just try to connect to your DB from the terminal, out of your app directory:

mysql -u your_user_name -h your_host -p your_password

Put the same values as in your database.yml file.

Hey, Karthick, I've written a post Install Ruby on Rails in Ubuntu for Ubuntu 12.04 but it should work fine with other versions too. Although, there's also an installer script to save time but it's not recommended if you're just starting out!
