Okay, so I upgraded to Rails 1.1 on my Windows development machine and everything worked fine. Then I went to upgrade to Ruby 1.8.4 from 1.8.2, launched WEBrick and browsed to 127.0.0.1:3000 and here''s what I get: Errno::EBADF in Front#index Bad file descriptor - connect(2) c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/vendor/mysql.rb:108:in `initialize'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/vendor/mysql.rb:108:in `real_connect'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb:331:in `connect'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb:88:in `initialize'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/mysql_adapter.rb:37:in `mysql_connection'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:251:in `connection_without_query_cache='' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/query_cache.rb:54:in `connection='' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:220:in `retrieve_connection'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:78:in `connection'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1044:in `add_limit!'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:1017:in `construct_finder_sql'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:924:in `find_every'' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.0/lib/active_record/base.rb:381:in `find'' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/front_controller.rb:14:in `index'' Line 14 in front_controller.rb is my first ActiveRecord call. Am I doing something wrong or should I be submitting a ticket? I can''t find anything anywhere about this so I''m guessing its something I did.
