Hello i have been atempting to move a project from sqlite database to
a sql server database with absolutly no success. i am now going to
document my entire process so that mabey someone can se the error of
my ways. And if some one else has this problem this migth act as a
troubleshooting guide.

OS: windows server 2003 latest sp
Sql: Sql server 2008

1. Install ruby 192.p0 from http://rubyinstaller.com/downloads (ticked
both boxes ie add to PATH and associate files)
installation folder is c:/ruby192

2.Install rails via
"gem install rails"

3. Install mongrel via
"gem install mongrel --pre"

4. install the sql adapter via
"gem install activerecord-swlserver-adapter"

5. install dbd-odbc via
"gem install dbd-odbc"
this also installed the dbi gem so i wont install this from a separate
command

Ok now everything i need to start RoR with mongrel and Sql Server
should be installed as far as i know on to the gem file

gem 'rails'#, '3.0.1'

require 'activerecord-sqlserver-adapter'
gem 'mongrel', '1.2.0.pre2'
require 'dbi'

and then the database.yml

development:
 adapter: sqlserver
 mode: odbc
 database: NameOfMyDB
 host: localhost
 dsn: name_of_my_db
 autocommit: true
 username: something
 password: something

Notes about this conf
dsn is the same name as the dsn i created with the odbc data source
administrator tool this is a system DSN by the way i have also tried
with file DSN

Ok now on to running my app

i go to the directory wich is located as follows

D:/projects/railsdev/projectname/

so i go there and execute
bundle install  the result of this is
Error require: no such file to load --activerecord-sqlserver-adapter

if i change my require to a gem command everything is installed and
the server starts when i try to connect to the database i get another
error LoadError (no such file to load --odbc)

i have been loosing sleep over this please tell me what am i doing
wrong ?
