I read quite a bit about the mysql2 and problems with installation / update but I am not exactly sure what to do. It is possible i did an install of this under the root user instead of the discourse user which may have caused some permission issues. Any help would be great.

$ bundle exec rake multisite:migrate  
rake aborted!
