I’m new to ruby and webdev in general and am having a really hard time getting my first project kickin. I can install and get the initial server page up and running. I’ve updated the gems and installed the mysql one along with mongrel. But once I setup my controller and view, I begin getting the error below. It’ll occur after I load it 4 or 5 times. If I include more html in the middle, it’ll fail after the second time loading it in Internet Explorer. (never the first). Also, sometimes it’s the abstract\_adapter, sometimes the mysql adapter. They are very random… c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/active\_record/ connection\_a dapters/abstract\_adapter.rb:38: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13) [i386-mswin32] This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application’s support team for more information. I’m running on a windows XP SP 3 with Dual Core and 2gb ram. I initially installed mysql 5.1, but after reading a post about the adapter not working, I installed mysql 5.0.77 which is what is currently running. But I’m not even doing any db calls… Below is my view. My controller and action are basically empty: The T-Shirt Company Below is my database.yml. development: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 database: tshirt # pool: 5 username: tshirt password: tshirt host: localhost Any help would be appreciated.
