While trying to install Redmine on Windows Server 2008 R2, I struck into following error we no solutions found...
It is asking to install something, and when try to install it says it don't find it. It suggested activerecord-mysql2-adapter, but even that is not working...
I'm now starting to believe that ROR sucks....
C:\Ruby\Apps\Redmine>rake db:migrate
rake aborted!
