I am an RoR newb, so bear with me here. I am on an Intel based Mac running OS X 10.4.11
I have started the 'RoR Essentials' tutorial on lynda.com. I have installed (I believe) all the necessary components: ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin8.11.1] Rails 2.3.8 gem version 1.3.5 mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.47, for apple-darwin8.11.1 (i386) using readline 5.1 WEBrick 1.3.1 Following the tutorial: > Created project 'my_app' $ rails -d mysql my_app (It is my understanding I need to define MySQL as the database as MySQLite is Rails the default) > Start the server. > Access the RoR home page at http://localhost:3000/. This page displays as expected but... > When I select 'About your application's environment' I get the error "We're sorry, but something went wrong. We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly." At this point in the development log I see: /!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Sun Jun 13 19:22:05 -0400 2010 Status: 500 Internal Server Error Unknown database 'my_app_development'... I ignore this error and go ahead and create the ('say') controller (say_controller.rb) per the tutorial: $ script/generate controller Say and add the 'hello' method Attempting then to access: http://localhost:3000/say/hello generates the same "We're sorry, but something went wrong." error is returned. I am supposed to get a 'Template is missing' error. Added to the development log now includes: /!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Sun Jun 13 19:33:38 -0400 2010 Status: 500 Internal Server Error Unknown database 'my_app_development' I have seen a suggestion to revert to MySQL 5.0 but I cannot find where to download it to even try.
