What directory are you starting from? If you're in the application root (where the INSTALL, README.rdoc, etc. files are), then you should be able to just do
cp config/database.example config/database.yml (FYI, you're getting that about database.yml not being a directory since you have an extra "config" in the cp command. It's thinking that you want to copy 'config' and 'C://.../config/database.example' to the location 'C://.../config/database.yml') Long On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 8:21 AM, Chris A <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > OK, after locating the file, I realized I was stupid and didn't > specify the whole file area.
