Hi, I''m a newbie, trying to get rails up and running on my Windows environment. I have previously installed XAMPP and have been using MySQL through that installation. Now that I''ve installed rails, I''m trying to run rake command db:create for an application called "blog" which I created through rails. The error I''m getting is: !!! The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql. rake aborted! no such file to load -- mysql My database.yml file is configured properly. Even if I try and run "gem install mysql", it gives me the same error. Can anyone help me understand how to connect to my existing installation of MySQL? Your help is appreciated.
