Using wamp's mysql for Ruby on Rails

rubyonrails-talk

Hi all,

I am new to ROR. I have wamp all ready to go, I'd like to use its mysql for ROR so that I can access the database from phpmyadmin. How should I do that?

Here is what I have in database.yml:

development:   adapter: mysql   encoding: utf8   reconnect: false   database: my_database   pool: 5   username: root   password:   host: localhost   port: 3306   socket: /tmp/mysql.sock

When I run rake db:create, 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. rake aborted!

Thanks a lot.

So what happened when you tried to install the mysql gem as suggested? If on Ubuntu or similar it should actually be sudo gem install mysql.

After installing: gem install mysql, I try to run rake db:create again. I get: <main>: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.9.1p378 (2010-01-10 revision 26273) [i386-mingw32]
