I think the root cause of both issues is the same--the ruby & rails installs
for windows don''t include sqlite binaries and/or the associated ruby
bindings.
There are excellent instructions for making a functional ruby and rails install
on windows here:
http://blog.mmediasys.com/2009/07/06/getting-started-with-rails-and-sqlite3
You''ve already got ruby & rails installs, but you should follow the
instructions on that page re: downloading the sqlite dll & doing the gem
install sqlite3-ruby step.

Subject: [Rails] fresh MSI installation prlblems
I have recently tried to download and use the Windows installer to get started
with Ruby. Everything seems to install ok. I have it located in c:\Ruby and I
have followed this exactly:
http://rubyonrails.org/download
I am able to startup Ruby and visit http://localhost:3000 and see my start page.
This is where I am hitting two stumbling blocks.
I see the Rails welcome aboard page, and I click the link "About your
application''s environment", but when I do this a pink box slides
down and says:
"We''re sorry, but something went wrong.
We''ve been notified about this issue and we''ll take a look at
it shortly."
This is a fresh install, I have never used it before at all, so I''m not
sure what is causing this message. The site seems to have loaded ok, except for
this.
So, I ignore this and I follow the instructions on the page.
1.) Use script/generate to create your models and controllers To see all
available options, run it without parameters.
This seems to works fine.
2.) Set up a default route and remove or rename this file Routes are set up in
config/routes.rb.
I checked, there is already a default route.
3.) Create your database Run rake db:migrate to create your database.
If you''re not using SQLite (the default), edit config/database.yml with
your username and password.
This is where I get an error...
The command prompt says:
"rake aborted!
no such file to load -- sqlite3
(see full stack by running task with --trace)"
Any ideas what is going on here? I''d really like to get started with
Ruby on Rails!
