Hi,  
I have problem here and have searched a lot on net but did not get any  
answers.

Now what i am trying to do is create a rails app which talks to  
SalesForec  
API.  
I did a search found a Rails gem called ‘activesalesforce’  
Now i installed it as per the instructions at  
[http://activesfdc.rubyforge.org/](http://activesfdc.rubyforge.org/). And it got installed properly with  
dependencies. Even check it in the gem list.  
Now when i try try run my server(using webrick fro dev), it gives me  
error:-

\*F:\salesforcetestapp\>ruby script/server  
=\> Booting WEBrick…  
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-2.0.1  
/lib/active\_record/connection\_a  
dapters/abstract/connection\_specification.rb:231:in  
`establish_connection': Please install the activesalesforce adapter: `gem install  
activerecord-activesalesforce-adapter` (no such file to  
load—active\_record/connection\_adapters/activesalesforce\_adapter)  
(RuntimeError)

\*I am updated my rails and other gems.  
Now i have :-  
Rails - 2.0.2  
Ruby is 1.8.5  
MySql is 5.0.27  
WebRick is 1.3.1

Also another issue with this salesforce integration is that i am not  
getting  
resource or blog online which speaks about rails implementation of  
saleforce  
integration.  
I have questions like “How do we access local db when salesforce gem  
makes  
the db configuration in a way that seems that rails app can access only  
salesfore dataset?”  
Generally pointers to how do i go about doing the integration.  
So if anyone can throw any light, it would be much appreciated.  
Thanks in advance  
ciao  
Arjun

please direct these sorts of questions to the rubyonrails mailing list
