Did you setup a database environment and if so which one? sqlite3, mysql, postgresql?
Check your database.yml in config and it should appear like something similar for development: development: adapter: mysql encoding: utf8 reconnect: false database: yourdatabasename pool: 5 username: root password: host: localhost Check the adapter and determine if you are using the right type of database environment. The default for rails is sqlite3. Let's say for instance that you want to use sqlite3, you need to make sure that you have the gem installed (sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby) for linux, or gem install sqlite3-ruby for windows. You also have to make sure that you have the latest sqlite3 files installed on your system. sqlite3.exe, sqlite3.dll, sqlite3.def (I place these in my Ruby/bin folder since Ruby/bin is added to my path environment. You can choose to place them anywhere so long as your path environment can find them. That solves sqlite3. However, if you are using mysql then you need to do the following: download the gem: (linux) sudo gem install mysql (windows) gem install mysql Make sure you have mysql installed on your system and setup and that the server is running (mysqld). Restart your rails server and click the tab (should be good from there) Let me know if you need any help with this. It can be a little tricky to get used to at first. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
