Installing Rails Help!

rubyonrails-talk

Hi,

I followed a Tutorial on Nettuts to install Ruby with RVM and this went well. I then tried to install Rails to follow the 'How to build a dropbox live service' from Netttus but appear to get errors can anybody help?.

Once I installed rails I created a new rails project using the command

(Rails new sharebox -d mysql)

This worked and created the folder structure.

I then went and added the following to the gem folder for the project as suggested by the netuts tutorial

source 'http://rubygems.org'

gem 'rails', '3.0.3' gem 'ruby-mysql'

I then did the bundle install but this kept causing errors, eventually somehow I got this to work and it said bundle installed correctly.

However when I try the command rails server i get the following error:

/Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/dependency.rb:247:in `to_specs': Could not find abstract (>= 1.0.0) amongst [actionmailer-3.1.0, actionmailer-3.0.3, actionpack-3.1.0, actionpack-3.0.3, activemodel-3.1.0, activemodel-3.0.3, activerecord-3.1.0, activerecord-3.0.3, activeresource-3.1.0, activeresource-3.0.3, activesupport-3.1.0, activesupport-3.0.3, ansi-1.3.0, arel-2.2.1, arel-2.0.10, bcrypt-ruby-3.0.1, builder-3.0.0, builder-2.1.2, bundler-1.0.18, coffee-rails-3.1.1, coffee-script-2.2.0, coffee-script-source-1.1.2, erubis-2.7.0, erubis-2.6.6, execjs-1.2.6, hike-1.2.1, i18n-0.6.0, jquery-rails-1.0.14, mail-2.3.0, mail-2.2.19, mime-types-1.16, multi_json-1.0.3, mysql2-0.3.7, polyglot-0.3.2, rack-1.3.2, rack-1.2.3, rack-cache-1.0.3, rack-mount-0.8.3, rack-mount-0.6.14, rack-ssl-1.3.2, rack-test-0.6.1, rack-test-0.5.7, rails-3.0.3, railties-3.1.0, railties-3.0.3, rake-0.9.2, rdoc-3.9.4, rdoc-2.5.11, rdoc-data-2.5.3, sass-3.1.7, sass-rails-3.1.1, sprockets-2.0.0, thor-0.14.6, tilt-1.3.3, treetop-1.4.10, turn-0.8.2, tzinfo-0.3.29, uglifier-1.0.3] (Gem::LoadError)   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:761:in `block in activate_dependencies'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:758:in `each'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:758:in `activate_dependencies'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:742:in `activate'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:764:in `block in activate_dependencies'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:758:in `each'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:758:in `activate_dependencies'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:742:in `activate'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:764:in `block in activate_dependencies'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:758:in `each'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:758:in `activate_dependencies'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/specification.rb:742:in `activate'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:1211:in `gem'   from /Users/bengibson/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/rails:18:in `<main>' Bens-MacBook-Pro:~ bengibson$

why bundle exec rake db:migrate?

first u have to intialize all gem so use

bundle install or bundle update

then make sure you have install mysql-server and mysql-client

before doing all stuff other wise

11

install mysql client

Please refer this

http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?116,178217,178217

12

That might be because of the mysql2 adapter is missing let me know your environment details including os..

13

I'm working on a late 2009 Macbook pro with the latest version of OSX lion. Not sure what other information you need. let me know

Thanks

why mysql2

just install mysql-server mysql clint and libmysqldev

other libraries then install mysql gem 2.8.1

it will run

no required mysql2

15

I am working on windows 7 32 bit. I came across the same problem. But for me the below procedure worked great!

1. edit Gemfile => gem 'mysql2', '0.2.6'      2. download mysql-noinstall-5.1.50-win32.zip at http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.1/mysql-noinstall-5.1.50-… ,unzip      3. gem install mysql2 -v 0.2.6 -- --with-mysql-lib=E:\ROR \mysql-5.1.50-win32\lib --with-mysql-include=E:\ROR\mysql-5.1.50- win32\include (replace the file "E:\ROR\mysql-5.1.50-win32" path with yours)      4. this should work now,try bundle install,generate some model ,and run rake db:migrate to see if it works,make sure your database config is right,like this development:   adapter: mysql2   encoding: utf8   reconnect: false   database: depot_development   pool: 5   username: root   password: root   host: localhost    5.if it still not work ,try this => https://github.com/brianmario/mysql2/issues/8

16

Really dont know how to install this mysql library stuff.

Detailed instructions or links to downloads would be much apprenticed

thanks

Dear ben, trust google and do the related search like installing mysql libraries to your environment. Do it first. Thats the problem, your system is missing mysql libraries for sure. If it is windows i could have definitely helped you!
