Hey, I’m new to RoR and have been having trouble viewing/testing my project. I’m working on Windows Vista. After running the: “ruby script/server” command and navigating through Firefox to [http://local:3000/projectName/](http://local:3000/projectName/) the cmd-prompt spits out a big error message. Here’s a snippet of the error (If you need the whole thing, tell me.): =\> Booting WEBrick =\> Rails 2.3.2 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000) =\> Call with -d to detach =\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server /!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Sat May 16 17:27:15 -0700 2009 Status: 500 Internal Server Error no such file to load – sqlite3 C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require’ C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:156:in `require' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/ active_support/dependencies.rb:521:in `new\_constants\_in’ C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/ active\_support/dependencies.rb:156:in `require' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/ active_support/core_ext/kernel/requires.rb:7:in `require\_library\_or\_gem’ C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/ active\_support/core\_ext/kernel/reporting.rb:11:in `silence_warnings' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.2/lib/ active_support/core_ext/kernel/requires.rb:5:in `require\_library\_or\_gem’ C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/ active\_record/connection\_adapters/sqlite3\_adapter.rb:10:in `sqlite3_connection' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/ active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_pool.rb:223:in `send’ C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/ active\_record/connection\_adapters/abstract/connection\_pool.rb:223:in `new_connection' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/ active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_pool.rb:245:in `checkout\_new\_connection’ C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/ active\_record/connection\_adapters/abstract/connection\_pool.rb:188:in `checkout' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/ active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_pool.rb:184:in `loop’ C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/ active\_record/connection\_adapters/abstract/connection\_pool.rb:184:in `checkout' C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/monitor.rb:242:in `synchronize’ C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.3.2/lib/ active\_record/connection\_adapters/abstract/connection\_pool.rb:183:in `checkout’ … Any help would be really appreciated! ~Redpanda ---

By default rails uses sqlite3 for its database layer. You need both sqlite3 itself and the sqlite3-ruby gem (ruby bindings for sqlite). Last time I checked you had to ask gem for version 1.2.3 of the sqlite3-ruby gem (later versions don’t have a prebuilt windows version) Fred ---

Also, assuming you have run ruby script/server from the projectName directory then the url will be [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) the projectname is not required. At least I do not need it. Colin 2009/5/17 Frederick C. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) ---

Thanks for the help.I figured that out the day after I posted this and forgot to update my post. But this should be good for anyone else having the same issue. ~Redpanda On May 17, 5:50 am, Frederick C. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid)
