It would be allot of help if you can upload the files for a demo?
I think HostGator (VisionMasterDesigns Web host) will support Ruby on rails

Actually Dave, there is no demo of this particular tutorial since it is very simple. If you have any problems you can always ask :)

Replacing the libmySQL.dll from a MySQL 5.1 installation with one from a 5.0 version, downloaded directly from www.mysql.com worked perfectly. I can't believe it! sooooo many hiccups trying to get rails running well on an XP machine. Looks like progress! thanks...

Hi All,
I was having the same problem and the following post help me to fix it. http://forums.aptana.com/vi...
I think the problem is the libmysql.dll client library version, I mean, if you have libmysql.dll in your path or you copied to \bin from directory, you ended up with a libmysql.dll client 5.1.X You can fix the problem without installing a new server by replacing libmysql.dll client 5.0.X. I got mine from php installation.
I hope this helps,

Saludos,

Jaime

Hi all,

Mysql::Error: Commands out of sync; you can't run this command now: SHOW TABLES

@Luis Jaramillo

Hi Luis,

I didn't make anything extra. I just changed MYSQL from 5.1 to 5.0.67 and It worked. Mysql gem driver version was 2.7.3. In my case, I didn´t have any previous application running, I mean, the problem didn't appear after an updating of my application. I just tested a "hello world" RoR application. The easiest way. I say this because you could have your app running with several tables in your database and the version change could be not so easy. If you already have your 5.1 database running with content, try to test 5.0.67 database separately.

Saludos,
David

Hi David,
I have the same problem, David are you sure the solution is to change the version of MYSQL? or by making something extra.
Please confirm me to make changes and solve this problem.
thanks.

Hi,
I got the same problem everytime I run db:migrate command. The solution that I've found is to change my mysql server. I was using 5.1 version and now I'm using 5.0.67.

note: I use 2.7.3 mysql gem driver

Bye and happy new year!!

you can create the database without typing the following command
mysql>CREATE DATABASE databasename \g
simply editing the file database.yml and running the command
rake db:create:all
Rails 2.0 will create three databases development, test and production

Found the problem.

I installed ruby on xampp and it didnt like it.

Solution was to unistall ruby then reinstall ruby and recreate the site outside of the xampp folder.

Added the following to httpd.conf:

Listen 3000
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

# RUBY SETUP

Hey Tyler,
Sorry for the delay in replying, do one thing,

The is the database must exist prior to raking. then using rake db:migrate automatically creates the tables.

You can follow this method as well

create a application simply
"rails appname"

then edit the "database.yml" folder inside your app/config

replace the code with the following code.

development:
host: localhost
adapter: mysql
database: put the database you want to use
username: put your db username
password: put your db pass

After this, see to it that the database exists in mysql either you

then follow with creating a scaffold and then raking it. It should work fine now.

I`ll add it to the tutorial as well. Thanks
Regards
