I''m having a lot of trouble getting going in InstantRails on Windows in a new development installation. I should mention that I''ve installed InstantRails 2.0 on this machine, and I''m using cygwin over windows for command-line stuff. The application was previously started elsewhere, which may have used a different IR installation, I don''t have that information. So, I get the ruby stuff out of the repository, and change the database.yml to point to mysql. At first, I brought up the index of one of my controllers and got a message which said I had an undefined method ''paginate''. Well, I''m not sure where that came from ,bu tsure enough, in index there''s a call to list, which tries paginate. So, I tried to regenerate my scaffold. I''m not that far into the application, no big deal if I lose stuff. I get told that Rails requires RubyGems >= 0.9.4, and I should do a ''gem update --system''. Upon trying that, I get: c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- /cygdrive/c/ruby/bin/gem (LoadError). I don''t understand this, as gem is right there. I resecured it 755 just in case ruby is kicked off as a different user. I think I have this installation hopelessly confused, and I don''t really know where to go from here. Anyone out there have any ideas?

As always, it''s the dumb things. I need to do the updtes from a windows command prompt, not from the cygwin interface which lays over windows. Still not running, but getting different ideas of what to install. Maybe at some point I''ll get it going. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Frederick Cheung wrote:> What is now known as classic pagination was removed in between rails > 1.2.x and rails 2.0Ah, thanks Fred. That explains it. Hopefully I can get my environment set up to working again, then just start re-generating my application and take off from there. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I think you should try loading InstantRails 1.7 (which has that version of rails) and make sure you can run the app on that and then you can try to port the app to rails 2.0 which is on IR 2.x. You can have both versions of IR installed (but not running) on you system without any problem.

Just > install under unique names.Thanks for the idea, Norm, but I really hadn''t done enough to make it worthwhile to save, just generated a couple of controllers/models etc and did some light playing around. I am really having a heck of a time getting going on 2.0. After downloading, I can use cookbook and typo just fine. So, I used the rails command to start my new application''s framework, but I want to this guy to use mysql instead. I changed database.yml to point to mysql and gave it my database''s name, but I can''t get the application to start from the InstantRails interface. The command window closes after just a second or two, and I don''t see anything being logged anywhere. I''ve created the development data in mysql, granted rights on database.* to myself, but it won''t come up. I even tried configuring the application with the root username, no dice. Something simple I''m sure, but I''ve got nothing. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Bring up a "ruby console" window in IR and (from the top directory of the app) try "ruby script/console". You can then try to access your database and see what the reaction is. Try something like "a=Tablename.new" to see what happens when the app tries to get the attributes of the ar class. When that works you can try things like "b=Tablename.find :all" to fetch all of the members of a particular ar class. (Both of the Tablenames are an AR class so they should be singular where the table is plural). If you can access the tables you know your database connection works so you can go on to other problems.

Then clicking on the ''About your application''s environment'' link gets me a stack trace which says "no such file to load -- mysql". Points to a line in custom_require.rb which says: gem_original_require path I don''t understand this, mysql is right at the InstantRails directory level. Next, I tried putting my application''s database.yml file back the way it was after generation -- using the sqlite3 driver pointing to the db/<appstate>.sqlite3 database. Restarted the server, same message except it can''t load sqlite. Is it something with the sql stuff not being in the windows path variable properly maybe? Or maybe I didn''t "install" properly (although it''s only a zip file, I''m not sure how far wrong I could''ve gone there). If that''s true, I can''t explain why the cookbook and typo apps seem to work from IR, as I didn''t do any installation of sqlite3. It''s kind of like looking through a fog--I think I see pieces of the puzzle, but don''t see the solution. Thanks for the responses. BTW, Norm, I tried your idea as well, but the rails console window shuts down as soon as it starts. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Mysqladmin can be used to do that for mysql.use_ruby.cmd does show me that the mysql/bin directory is in PATH, so it seems like I''m o.k. there. No, the database is there, and I''ve granted rights to my user (who I assume is the one IR will connect as, since I start it as me). Something around that though. Hmmm. Thanks for the advice.
