Rails - Apr 2006 - really silly question (my first project and such)

Hi all

My question has to do with a statement made in the database.yml file as
generated by RadRails-

"
# There is no gem for Windows. Install mysql.so from RubyForApache.

# http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyforapache

"

Is webrick based on the apache web server?  I don''t understand this
particular aspect yet.  I apologize if radrails questions aren''t
supposed to
be here, but I figured someone must know something.

Thanks!

Fred

I wouldn''t worry about it.  There is a problem with old mysql bindings 
that didn''t work very well.  And on a windows box the only way to get 
the newest mysql bindings was to install that RubyForApache package.

As long as you are not running the app from Apache on windows I am 
pretty sure you can ignore that comment.  It''s only for windows Apache 
being able to use ruby to connect mysql.

And Webrick is not based on Apache at all.  It''s a lightweight server 
built entirely form scratch in ruby.
