problems with ruby on rails 3 on windows 7


I have run into an error while running rails 3 on win7 64 bit and mysql 5.1.

It has to do with mysql2. Any assistance would be helpful.

C:\mobile_projects>rails new test2 -d mysql

C:\mobile_projects>cd test2

C:\mobile_projects\test2>rails generate scaffold testtbl desc:string legsnumber:string
[31mCould not find gem 'mysql2 (>= 0, runtime)' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile.[0m

Solution

  • I resolved this..i simply went into the gemfile and changed the mysql2 references to mysql and things worked fine...
