Rails Associations and input

I am trying to display user's names with their service and retail sales numbers for a given data range while also creating a form to input all sales for users. I am using devise and simple form and rails 4. So far I have been able to to display users in a list but have not been to create inputs. I have created two tables one called users and another called sales with columns of id, service_sales, retail_sales, and user_id. I am not sure where to go from here, this is what I have on github:

Let me have a look - my Rails is a little rusty but I'll have a go!

What is not working as you expect and what did you expect it to do/what did it do?

I can't get mysql to work - it's asking for secret keys and bases ... argh!

As far as the secrets and bases did you generate yml file enter in your mysql info then run rake db:create? Maybe you can help without actually running the code, what I am trying to do is to is create a form to list all the employee with two inputs for their sales number by an admin. So far I have created an association of sales belong_to user(employee) and user has_many sales. I guess where I am getting stuck is that I have created two tables one for users and one for sales and I can not seem to get them to link together. Any ideas?

No, I didn't generate a yml file in a Rails/rake perspective; should I have? I've added a secrets.yml file and a database.yml file but that's all.

Sorry, I am rusty on Rails at the moment. A few months ago, I'd have answered that without needing the application live to see it. If you have any setup tips (mine is "use sqlite3") for mysql, let me know.
