Getting Started problem

Rails
1

I want to try Ruby on Rails. I know nothing about Ruby or Rails. I
followed the installation instructions for Windows on
Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern..

I directed my browser at http://localhost:3000 and I get the “Welcome
Aboard (You’re riding Ruby on Rails!)” screen. The first link on the
page is “About Your Application’s Environment” (->
http://localhost:3000/rails/info/properties), which when clicked gets
this error:

MissingSourceFile in Rails/infoController#properties

no such file to load – sqlite3

RAILS_ROOT: C:/ruby-app

This error occurred while loading the following files: sqlite3

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

There is only one way to start learning Rails - the book /Agile Web
Development
with Rails/, by the Daves. If you don’t get it, you will only suffer.
All of
these newsgroups and online documentations (correctly) assume you have
read that
book. That way we don’t waste our time with the simple stuff, and can
proceed
directly to the fun stuff!

no such file to load – sqlite3

Read config/database.yml, then install both sqlite3 and ruby-sqlite3!
