Hello folks, I have downloaded the rails installer(ruby 2.1) from "[http://railsinstaller.org/en"\](http://railsinstaller.org/en"%5C). Installed it on my 32 bit machine. It installed nicely. It even created a skeleton app. Inside that app, I did a "bundle install" just to make sure that every gem come in my application. I could see numerous gems got installed after it. To my excitement, even server was also running(rails s). But what happened later bursts my excitement. When I type "localhost:3000" in my browser, I see below error which I am not able to get rid of. ERROR LoadError: Please install the sqlite3 adapter: 'gem install ativerecord-dqlite-adapter' \ Fair enough message. Big BUT is that I can not even install sqlite3 manually with gem install sqlite3 or after adding it GemFile. It was already added in the GemFile though. I won't mind sharing my Gemfile if any one is interested to help me. Cheers! ---

Did You do some changes in config database.yml file for accessing database also which database you are using? ---

Hello Hemant, I have specifically started a blog just for windows users working on rails. Please check [this](http://sushruth.me/). It has just a couple of posts, but will definitely help you. Suggestions welcome Regards, Sushruth ---

Sushruth, Thanks. This was a good lead. But my problem does not end here. Now, I seems to have caught in some other mess, it seems. After copying the certificate from(gist.github..), I tried to start my server again. All it gives me is: 'require' : can not load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite\_native \ from blah blah blah.. ---

Hello Hemant, When I started learning rails I was using windows and like you I found many things I couldn't understand, then I switched to mac, all was easier. But the true is that till today the platform where I find myself more productive is on Ubuntu. On Ubuntu many of the tools are free and easier to install, I have a virtual Machine with Ubuntu and there's no issues, besides my own ignorance some times. So I advise you to go this route: Use Ubuntu, install RVM, Install Git, Install all that you want, I even use eclipse as a ruby source code editor, make it your world first, and then for each rails project create a small shell script inside your skeleton folder, mine is like this: Filename: Startenv.sh Content: #! /bin/bash --login rvm use ruby-2.0.0-p598@toy\_app --create exec /bin/bash --login echo 'Toy\_App Environment Ready to Rock and Roll!' ---

Hello Hemant, I check the error it not really due to database missing. When I first time working on window it occur then I create “cacert.pem” file in folder where rails install. Please check attach file and the code. [cacert.pem](https://discuss.rubyonrails.org/uploads/short-url/yJ0mUiLjkhhqLFQEuw6d4DNN3j4.pem) (250 KB)
