So my final notes as of Dec 05, 2008 to get Ruby, Rails, Mysql working on Windows Vista Ultimate x64 edition.
MySQL x64 will work fine on it's own, but not with the latest versions of Ruby on rails, as the mysql driver is for 32 bit only. So you have grab an older version[ MySQL 5.0.67 win32(I installed essential)], as 5.1.30-win32 won't play nice with Rails. After installing you need to reboot, then you run the instance script to configure MySQL. Then you can install/update Ruby and Rails and all the gems as you'd like. I currently have Ruby 1.8.6 (there is no one step installer for ruby 1.8.7 and I had some issues with the binaries) Rails 2.2.2 Gem 1.3.1 ( had to first run >gem install rubygems-update then >update_rubygems to update from 1.2.0 gems ) also ran >gem install mysql >gem install mongrel Don't forget to make sure the PATH is updated and points to both your mysql/bin directory and ruby/bin directories. You can just pop open a command prompt and type path to see if it is set. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
