Problems with basic Rails

Hi all,
I’m a newbie

I’ve installed RoR on win 7 and this is script\about

About your application’s environment
Ruby version 1.9.1 (i386-mingw32)
RubyGems version 1.3.7
Rack version 1.1
Rails version 2.3.8
Active Record version 2.3.8
Active Resource version 2.3.8
Action Mailer version 2.3.8
Active Support version 2.3.8
Application root F:/rubyProject/depot
Environment development
Database adapter mysql
Database schema version 0

I did:
1- rails depot -d mysql
2- rake db:create
3- I’ve created “products” table with mysql command line editor
4- ruby script\generate scaffold Product
5- I Start webrick
6- go on localhost:3000/products and find (correctly) an empty list
7- I want insert a new product, click on “new” but the page is empty
(see img attached)

and if I click on “create” ruby crashes…

Maybe Rails can’t connect with Mysql or something else…

database.yml:

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

Warning: The database defined as “test” will be erased and

re-generated from your development database when you run “rake”.

Do not set this db to the same as development or production.

test:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: depot_test
pool: 5
username: root
password: password
host: localhost

production:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: depot_production
pool: 5
username: root
password: password
host: localhost

Could anybody help me ??

Maaaany thanks

not use 1.9.1

Whoa, what? It appears you’ve tried to create a Product model but
not specified any attributes for it, so it’s not surprising you’d get an
empty “new” page.

Second, after you create a new model, you need to get that info into
the database, using rake db:migrate.

6- go on localhost:3000/products and find (correctly) an empty list
7- I want insert a new product, click on “new” but the page is empty
(see img attached)

Uh, “maybe”? You can easily determine that by either looking at your
log file, or opening a console and trying something that will need to do
a DB access.

But build a proper model and run migrations first, and see what happens.

Have a look at the rails guides at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/.
Start with Getting Started, oddly enough. That will explain some
things you are missing and should get you going. The ones on
ActiveRecord relationships and Debugging are also compulsory reading.
