Hi All, I’m trying to run mysql DB with ROR app. I’m using Netbeans 6.5 and whenever I run the server and it tried to hit the DB, I get the error: * * * C:/InstantRails-2.0-win/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.2.2/lib/active\_record/connection\_adapters/abstract\_adapter.rb:38: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24) [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. * * * Any thoughts Thanks in advance Maged ---

Try upgrading your gem too. That type of thing.
