I am successfully using mysql with rails...Do the following
1. edit Gemfile => gem 'mysql2', '0.2.6'
2. download mysql-noinstall-5.1.50-win32.zip at
http://downloads.mysql.com/archives/mysql-5.1/mysql-noinstall-5.1.50-...
,unzip
3. gem install mysql2 -v 0.2.6 -- --with-mysql-lib=E:\ROR
\mysql-5.1.50-win32\lib --with-mysql-include=E:\ROR\mysql-5.1.50-
win32\include (replace the file "E:\ROR\mysql-5.1.50-win32" path
with
yours)
4. this should work now,try bundle install,generate some
model ,and run rake db:migrate to see if it works,make sure your
database config is right,like this
development:
adapter: mysql2
encoding: utf8
reconnect: false
database: depot_development
pool: 5
username: root
password: root
host: localhost
5.if it still not work ,try this =>

Hope this helped
