+# Migrating Database
+After you've gotten [mysql installed](https://github.com/kinseyost/ruby-tutorial#install-mysql), there might be a few gotchas depending on your setup.
+
+Check the config/database.yml to get the appropriate `username`. You will also need to find the `password`,
+which will be placed in the `IDENTIFIED BY ''` bit of sql below.
+
+### Open mysql with root user
+```
+mysql -u root
+```
+Once in mysql, create a user of the appropriate name.
+
+### Create appropriate user
+```
+CREATE_USER 'simple_cms'@'localhost';
+```
+
+### Grant all priveleges to said user.
+```
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.*
+TO 'simple_cms'@'localhost';
+IDENTIFIED BY '';
+```
+
+### Create the database
+```
+CREATE DATABASE simple_cms_development;
+```
+
+### Exit mysql
+```
+exit
+```
+
+## Migrate the db
+```
+rake db:migrate
+```
+
+### Problems
+If you are seeing a problem such as
+```
+$ rake db:create --trace
+rake aborted!
