  "gem install mysql" fixed the problem in my case (RH9, WHM/cPanel).

  I use XAMPP and I installed (http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=167&release_id=2049)
  This a One Click Install for Windows. I don't want to change XAMPP. So I don't konw what kind of problem I have. XAMPP work good. I read this article and I did every step. It was all good. And the step where I had to type:http://127.0.0.1:3000/recipe/new
  got this problem. So I don't understand if everything works properly how I could get this problem

  I know why, I had this same problem. It means it tried to connect to MySQL but couldn't login. But the error is non-standard. The reason is because your MySQL version is using old-style mysql passwords. Check that your mysql is using new style passwords, you may need to edit my.cnf and remove line that says "old_passwords = 1". Then you will need to restart mysql server, then login to it as root and reset the passwords, this will overwrite the encryption with the new-style encryption.
