Install Fail on rake in section: [Setup application]

Created by: FLasH3r

Based on the wiki guide: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/stable/doc/install/installation.md

This line fails:

sudo -u gitlab bundle exec rake gitlab:app:setup RAILS_ENV=production

reason:

rake aborted! Mysql2::Error: Can't create database 'gitlabhq_production'; database exists: CREATE DATABASE gitlabhq_production DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci

I think because we already created the database in the Database setup section:

Create the GitLab production database

mysql> CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS gitlabhq_production DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;

What do I do ?
