Hi Rich, You're perfectly rigth with mint, since it's 100% based on ubuntu, all ubuntu recipes will work with mint.
that being said, sounds to me that you need to create the sqlite database instance that is related to your project an important step in your rails learning will be to learn to find and understand the log files. the error message you have in your browser is for the end users more explicit and detailed informations are located in the RAILS_PROJECT/log/development.log file you can edit it with gedit, or use the following command lines : "more development.log" : see the whole file, step by step "cat development.log" : go directly at the end of the file maybe you can find your error int this log file and paste it here so we can help you to fix the problem :) On 2 août, 02:45, Rich d <[email protected]> wrote: > Fidel, > > Thanks for your reply.
