MySql as database in Leopard --- Will not rake

rubyonrails-talk
1

I am trying to create a new application on Mac OSX Leopard with MySql instead of Sqlite3, and I am having loads of trouble. I have installed mysql and I can connect properly through mysql -u root -p. I have also installed the MySQL C bindings for Ruby through: sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/ local/mysql/bin/mysql_config.

However, when I crate a new rails application with:

rails -d mysql myapp

And then I run rake db:migrate. I get:

The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql

I have already installed the gem as outlined above, and it is still not working. Am I missing a configuration change somewhere? My database.yml file is set properly ... cannot figure this out for the life of me. Somebody please help!

Did you get the 64bit version of mysql or the 32bit version?

I tried downloading the 32bit version, because I know that the 64bit version has issues with Leopard. However, I am worried there might still be some remnants of a previous install on my computer. How can I check the version and ensure all of the 64bit files are deleted?

Try to take a look to your mySQL folder in /usr/local/

I had the same problem recently.

I recommend you to rm it, reinstall the 32bits version and do the sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-config=/usr/ local/mysql/bin/mysql_config thing.

That should work.
