Hi all, im a newb and although I''ve googled I can''t find a clear answer. Im running: Windows 7 x64 Eclipse x64 with radrails plugin Ruby 1.9.3p125 Rails 3.2.3 I''ve installed some mysql connectors and gems and DevKit and executed: "gem install mysql2" Howerver, I want to know if it is possible to run: rails new <project_name> -d mysql2 As I am getting an error saying only mysql is possible. Is the only way of using mysql2 by using mysql as default and then changing the ruby file? Because i''ve been following tutorials and always the error of "using version 5.x when its compiled to 6.x" Thanks in advance -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

When you create the app with -d mysql is telling rails that you want to use mysql db for your app. Rails will by default set mysql2 gem (adaptor) to be used in the database.yml development: adapter: mysql2 encoding: utf8 reconnect: false database: del_development pool: 5 username: root password: socket: /tmp/mysql.sock So if you want to use mysql db you are doing it right with -d mysql. There is nothing else you need to do. Just go ahead with the project. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
