Rails default database is sqlite3. Did you install sqlite3-ruby gem? Did you downloaded and correctly placed sqlite3.dll to be used by the Gem? Are you using Mongrel? Did you use another database adapter for Rails, like MySQL? have you installed the corresponding gem and libraries for it? What development.log contains? You have all that information available in your side, while we only can guess what is your problem… Please try be more specific and try to provide more information. Help us help you. ---

The sqlite3-ruby gem was installed and the sqlite3.dll was correctly placed in C:\Ruby19\bin. I am not using Mongrel. Although MySQL is installed I am not using it for any of the tests. System tests were constructed in the c:\tmp directory as follows: ===begin== rails test01 cd test01 bundle install rails server ===end=== When browser is given [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) the standard Welcome aboard screen displays. HOWEVER, when you click on the About your applications environment link Ruby.exe crashes intermittently with the following error information. ===begin=== ruby.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.

C:\Users\Luis\Projects\_sandbox\>ruby -v ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i386-mingw32] C:\Users\Luis\Projects\_sandbox\>rails --version Rails 3.0.0.beta3 C:\Users\Luis\Projects\_sandbox\>gem list sqlite3-ruby \*\*\* LOCAL GEMS \*\*\* sqlite3-ruby (1.3.0.beta.2 x86-mingw32, 1.2.5 x86-mingw32) C:\Users\Luis\Projects\_sandbox\>rails test3 … C:\Users\Luis\Projects\_sandbox\test3\>bundle check The Gemfile’s dependencies are satisfied rails server and requesting rails properties in the about page generates a segfault (something lot of users have reported about Rails 3 and 1.9.1 version of Ruby). I heard that the same is true for 1.8.7 and Rails-core recommends updating to 1.9.2 (which hasn’t been released yet). Any more familiarized with Rails can comment on this. ---

I think rails 3 does not support Ruby 1.9.1. You have to use ruby 1.9.2-head instead if you want to use the 1.9 version. Vinicius Baggio F. [http://www.vinibaggio.com](http://www.vinibaggio.com)
