11175 · December 10, 2008, 4:44am

Hello All...

I am new to ruby...

I have installed ruby 1.8.6 in my XP machine.

Installed by Ruby one-click installer. And then i have installed Apache2 Webserver.

Then tried with a testProgram in Run-> cmd -> rails testProgram

Then i have completed ruby script/server on cmd

Then after that i took http://127.0.0.1:3000/ in my browser and i got the default page.

It contains the details like

"Welcome Abroad" About your application Environment with a link.

Once i click on that I got Like "MissingSourceFile in Rails/...

no such file to load -- sqlite3

RAILS_ROOT: C:/Ruby/testProgram

I need to use the mysql as database.

The mysql server is therre in another machine in my LAN. I dont know how to connect to that..

And also I am so srry to ask this simple doubt but im new to thias ruby.

I want to to knw how can i start by simply print or start with ruby page by a message "Welcome to RUBY". Where can i start with? How??

Hope some one help me out

no such file to load – sqlite3

RAILS_ROOT: C:/Ruby/testProgram

I need to use the mysql as database.

Apparently the mysql gem is currently broken for Windows, so you should probably get used to using SQLite for now.

Just to follow up, I was able to get rake to run on Windows under 2.2.2 by using the InstantRails fix:

http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/InstantRails-win/InstantRails/mysql/bin/

Copy libmysql.dll from there to your ruby/bin directory
gem install mysql --no-rdoc

hi

your rails app folder, go to config/database.yml

in datebase.yml

you will find like this

development: adapter: mysql database: test username: root password: password host: localhost socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

in host your that system ip like

adapter: mysql database: test username: root password: password host: 10.0.1.28 socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

Thanks for ur reply...

In database.yml i can find this

# SQLite version 3.x # gem install sqlite3-ruby (not necessary on OS X Leopard) development: adapter: sqlite3 database: db/development.sqlite3 pool: 5 timeout: 5000

# 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: sqlite3 database: db/test.sqlite3 pool: 5 timeout: 5000

production: adapter: sqlite3 database: db/production.sqlite3 pool: 5 timeout: 5000

I didnt install Mysql in my PC...

If you will not use any database, you can cancel active_record. Modify config/environment.rb Uncomment this line:

config.frameworks -= [ :active_record, :active_resource, :action_mailer ]

11175 · December 10, 2008, 6:01am

Thank you for the reply

Now i got message by clicking on the link ' About your application Environment' as

"uninitialized constant ActiveRecord::Base"

ok...And my databasse.yml is like this..

# SQLite version 3.x # gem install sqlite3-ruby (not necessary on OS X Leopard) development: adapter: sqlite3 database: db/development.sqlite3 pool: 5 timeout: 5000

# 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: sqlite3 database: db/test.sqlite3 pool: 5 timeout: 5000

production: adapter: sqlite3 database: db/production.sqlite3 pool: 5 timeout: 5000

Is all correct??

CFC · December 10, 2008, 6:11am

err … Did you generated any model yet? And SQLite is not same as MySQL, they are different. Run cmd and type: gem i sqlite3-ruby And comment config.frameworks -= [ :active_record, :active_resource, :action_mailer ] And, restart your server and try again

11175 · December 10, 2008, 6:15am

no need mysql in your system.

you have to replace database.yml with my database.yml file.

Delete your database.yml. then copy my "database.yml" i was attached after that then change follow thinks

development: adapter: mysql database: test username: root password: password host: localhost socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

change socket to "socket = C:/www/tmp/mysql.sock"

CFC · December 10, 2008, 6:27am

I think no need to change socket, just delete it

11175 · December 10, 2008, 6:29am
