I am trying to follow RESTful Rails Development from O’Reilly by Silvia
Puglisi.
I have created an app (wikicat), database (MySQL), models (category and
link), controllers (CategoryController show) and routes. I have followed
everything that the book said (taking in to consideration the published
errata) and I am going round and round in circles trying to fix an
ActiveRecord::ConnectionNotEstablished error.
I am running on Linux Mint 17.2 with:
Rails version 4.1.4
mysql version 14.14 Distribution 5.5.46
I have started mysql server. My Gemfile has been bundled and is shown
below:
source ‘https://rubygems.org’
Bundle edge Rails instead: gem ‘rails’, github: ‘rails/rails’
gem ‘rails’, ‘4.1.4’
gem ‘rails-api’
Use mysql as the database for Active Record
gem ‘mysql2’, ‘~> 0.3.18’
#Serialiser for JSON
gem ‘active_model_serializers’
group :doc do
#bundle exec rake doc:rails generates the API under doc/api
gem ‘sdoc’, ‘~>0.4.0’
end
group :development do
#Spring speeds up development by keeping your application
#running in the background. Read more:
#GitHub - rails/spring: Rails application preloader
gem ‘spring’
end
There isn’t an application trace, but there is a framework trace which I
have pasted below:

Is there anything in there telling me why I can’t get a connection?
Thank you for your patience with my newbie query.
