I am just yes fighting is the right word through the Netbeans 6.0 for
RoR guidance:
[quote]1.gem install mysql
2.Choose the win32 build.
3.Install MySQL and put its /bin directory on your path.[/quote]
did the first 2 steps but what means step 3 ???
Your path? What is my path and which path?
The connection to the MySQL database is also not working, why? what do
i wrong? Please help
Pel, you donât need to follow the instructions at the top of the
database.yml. As long as mysql is running as a service on your box you
should be able to get to it.
Try typing mysql into a command prompt window or go to c:\program
files\mysql\bin\ and type mysql there. If you canât log in it means mysql is
not running.
the path c:\program files\mysql\bin\ does not exist so which path must
I add to the environment variable?
How can i start the mysql server without going to the command prompt
for example from within the Netbeans IDE ?
looks this image is from 2 days ago when i installed netbeans and the
mysql driver with âgem install mysqlâ so mysql should be installed -
where i dont know- but how can i start it and is mysql a system
service? i thought its a driverâŚ

Why did you keep posting the same thing? Please refrain from doing that
in
the future.
Ok, if youâve extracted it to c:/mysql you should now have mysql
installed
try typing âmysqlâ in the command prompt and see what comes up. I
thought
you wouldâve had mysql installed.
You shouldnât need the mysql gem.
The mysql service should be running automatically if thatâs what you
selected in your mysql setup.
Instant Rails is no longer being maintained and has been replaced by
the [BitNami RubyStack]. - and RubyStack is crap⌠because i dont
have a GUI.

I have extracted it to c:\mysql yes but that does not mean that mysql
is installed right? Extracting an application does not mean it is
installed in my understanding.
i thought the mysql GEM is the connection between Netbeans and the
mysql driver?
run automactially? Where can i select that? I dont see any mysql
setup, I just can enter âmysqlâ at the command prompt for some
commandsâŚ
Chill dude. Only trying to help. InstantRails is still available for
download. Itâs reasonably current (if not current). It works well.
And it will get you out of the mess you seem to have got yourself into
and have no idea of how youâre going to get out of. Ask yourself the
question: how do you want to spend your life â diagnosing how to
integrate MySQL with Netbeans or writing Ruby on Rails applications.
I suggest you choose the latter since you donât even know where your
âPathâ is located.
can i integrate mongrel server anyhow into my Netbeans IDE , because
WEBrick seems outdated too?
Yes, you can, simply install mongrel gemâŚ
gem install mongrel
And Netbeans will work with mongrel⌠(in my Linux workstation it works
!!!)
A little suggestion: set NetBeans 6 to work with native Ruby (instead of
JRuby), so you can work with mysql and debug application tooâŚ)
(Tools/Options/Ruby set Ruby interpreterâŚ)
