Problem with starting Rails. Please help

Rails
1

Dear All:

I am new to Rails. This is my first day of using Rails.I have already
installed Ruby and Rails on my computer.
But in new application- script folder ‘server’ script is not getting
created.
In short I am not able to run- ruby script/server.
Please help me or suggest another way to set up Rails on Windows.

I am using Windows XP.
Thanks in advance.

If you have Rails 3 you say ‘rails s’ (from your Rails root) or if rails
is not in your %PATH% ‘ruby script/rails server’.

3

You didn’t specify which Rails version you are using.
Looks like you are on Rails 3, in that case, on of the following two
should
work:
rails server (shorthand is rails s)
or
ruby script/rails server

You may also want to read up Rails guides, which is very good if you are
a
beginner and will address these basic issues -

Thanks for your prompt replies. I am using Rails 3.0.9 version. I used
‘ruby
script/rails server’ command.
But I am getting following error pop-up while running this command.

The procedure entry point sqlite3_column_database_name could not be
located
in the dynamic link library sqlite3.dll

Please suggest some solution.

Thanks,
Amit

Make sure that you have sqlite3 installed on your machine and sqlite3
gem is
also installed.
If you don’t have sqlite3 installed on windows, then you can grab
sqlite3.dll from here SQLite Download Page and copy it to
either your ruby bin directory or windows’ system32 directory. Open up a
new
console and run the server again.

As an aside, I have found that RailsInstaller works pretty well for all
this
default setup on windows. You may want to try it out -

Thank you very much Chirag. It worked. Could you please tell me how to
replace SQLite with MySQL?

Two ways:

  1. You can specify that while creating your project - rails new myapp -d
    mysql
  2. Manually modify your database.yml file to use mysql and update your
    Gemfile to use mysql gem

sample config for database.yml, you will need similar entries for
production
and test databases

development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: myapp_development
pool: 5
username: root
password: password
host: localhost

in your Gemfile, add:

gem ‘mysql’

It will be in your applications root folder. Along with the files like
README, Rakefile, etc

Hi Chirag,

Thanks for your great help. I have one more question. It may be a silly
one.
You suggested that

in your Gemfile, add:
gem ‘mysql’

I am not clear with the Gemfile. Please tell me where to find it.

looks like you have wrong entry in your Gemfile.

Can you attach or paste contents of your Gemfile?

mysql2 won’t install on windows, use mysql gem instead.

So, change this line
gem ‘mysql2’, ‘~> 0.2.6’
to
gem ‘mysql’

and in your config/database.yml file, change the adapter from mysql2
to *
mysql* for all 3 databases.

Hi,

Gem file is as follows:

source ‘http://rubygems.org’

gem ‘rails’, ‘3.0.9’

Bundle edge Rails instead:

gem ‘rails’, :git => ‘git://github.com/rails/rails.git’

gem ‘mysql2’, ‘~> 0.2.6’

Use unicorn as the web server

gem ‘unicorn’

Deploy with Capistrano

gem ‘capistrano’

To use debugger (ruby-debug for Ruby 1.8.7+, ruby-debug19 for Ruby

1.9.2+)

gem ‘ruby-debug’

gem ‘ruby-debug19’, :require => ‘ruby-debug’

Bundle the extra gems:

gem ‘bj’

gem ‘nokogiri’

gem ‘sqlite3-ruby’, :require => ‘sqlite3’

gem ‘aws-s3’, :require => ‘aws/s3’

Bundle gems for the local environment. Make sure to

put test-only gems in this group so their generators

and rake tasks are available in development mode:

group :development, :test do

gem ‘webrat’

end
