Getting Started problem

rubyonrails-talk
1

I want to try Ruby on Rails. I know nothing about Ruby or Rails. I followed the installation instructions for Windows on http://www.rubyonrails.org/down.

I directed my browser at http://localhost:3000 and I get the "Welcome Aboard (You're riding Ruby on Rails!)" screen. The first link on the page is "About Your Application's Environment" (-> http://localhost:3000/rails/info/properties), which when clicked gets this error:

MissingSourceFile in Rails/infoController#properties

no such file to load -- sqlite3

RAILS_ROOT: C:/ruby-app

This error occurred while loading the following files: sqlite3

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

There is only one way to start learning Rails - the book /Agile Web Development with Rails/, by the Daves. If you don't get it, you will only suffer. All of these newsgroups and online documentations (correctly) assume you have read that book. That way we don't waste our time with the simple stuff, and can proceed directly to the fun stuff!

Read config/database.yml, then install both sqlite3 and ruby-sqlite3!
