D:\Rails\MyBlog>

How can I solve this?? Any Ideas?

EDIT

My Code:

class CreateBlogPosts < ActiveRecord::Migration
  def change
    create_table :blog_posts do |t|
      t.string :title
      t.string :content
      t.datetime :publishDate

      t.timestamps
    end
  end
end

Database.yml

# SQLite version 3.x
#   gem install sqlite3
#
#   Ensure the SQLite 3 gem is defined in your Gemfile
#   gem 'sqlite3'
development:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  database: gts
  username: heuro
  password: userPass
  host: 'localhost'
  port: '3306'
  socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test:
    adapter: mysql2
    encoding: utf8
    database: gts
    username: heuro
    password: userPass
    host: '127.0.0.1'
    port: '3306'

production:
    adapter: mysql2
    encoding: utf8
    database: gts
    username: heuro
    password: userPass
    host: '127.0.0.1'
    port: '3306'

Edit your database.yml file to make it look as follows:

development:
  adapter: mysql2
  database: gts
  user: heuro
  password: userPass
  host: localhost
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

Looking at the source for the mysql2 gem, I think your problem might be that you have the port as a string in your YAML file.

Try changing it to look like this:

development:
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  database: gts
  username: heuro
  password: userPass
  host: 'localhost'
  port: 3306
  socket: /tmp/mysql.sock
