[Locomotive-users] general frustration

[ray palermo]

I have that book and it was frustrating because of the errata and  
that I was confused by what Locomotive was supposed to be doing as  
opposed to the instructions in the book which caused other errors  
(like something about updating the DB schema). Additionally, I tried  
using the tutuorial on the Apple site and that was a whole different  
failure.I really appreciate the help I am getting and apologize for  
asking such basic questions.

I am trying to use MySQL for the database (if I ever get to that  
point). I have it set up through Locomotive so that I can call it  
from the command line.
