Update: After 3 days of shear struggle, I got the following combination to work together:
1. Ruby 1.9.2 2. Rails 3.1.1 3. MySql 5.5.17 (64 bit) 4. Windows 7 64 bit After reading tons and tons of blogs with advice that didn't work (but Thank you to those on here who tried.. for some reason the blogs here were more helpful).. and almost getting to the same place as this guy.. whose post I copy below: I’ve been trying to have Rails work with MySQL for 2 days now with no positive result. I followed numerous guidelines and read kilobytes of forum threads. All in vain. Ruby 1.9.2 + Rails 3.1.1 + MySQL 5.5 on 64bit Win7 is Mission Impossible. --- AND --- No, above instructions did not help. I’m not wasting any more time on this Ruby crap. Enough is enough. ---- I've found the correct answer: see this link: http://blog.mmediasys.com/2011/07/07/installing-mysql-on-windows-7-x64-and-using-ruby-with-it/ I must say though, that I'm pretty jaded/bitter about rails. Three long days to get "hello world" with MySQL (the most mainstream DB in the world) working???
