Ruby and MySql

Rails
1

Hi there - new to RoR but very excited about it indeed -

I have just manged to install everything.

However, when I browse to http://localhost:3000/ then click the “About
your application’s environment” - from the console I get :

Status: 500 Internal Server Error
no such file to load – mysql

Perhaps someone can tell from my configuration what is wrong ??? What I
may be missing ??

My configuration is

* Mac OSX 10.4.11
* Ruby - v 1.8.6
* Rails
* Mongrel
* RubyGems 1.3.3
* MYSQL 5.0.27

database.yml file =

development:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
database: temp_development
username: root
password:
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

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
database: temp_test
username: root
password:
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

production:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
database: temp_production
username: root
password:
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

Many thanks in advance

Does the database exist that you are connecting to?
#> mysqladmin create temp_development

also ensure you have the mysql gem installed (current versions of
rails require the native gem)

#> sudo gem install mysql

lastly make sure your project can communicate with the database
rake db:migrate

If all is well the only thing you should have to do in the future is
ensure the database exists with the mysqladmin command.

looks like you’re missing the mysql gem (ruby bindings for the mysql
library)
