Ruby On Rails 3 and Webrick issue

Question

Thanks for taking a look at this.

I started a beginner\'s tutorial on RoR through lynda.com. I followed the instructions to the letter. Everything was working so far

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem as you (also attempting to go through the Lynda course), and also being a newbie I got pretty frustrated pretty quickly.

Buuuuut, after some searching, I found and answer here I got it to work.

First, I installed the 32-bit version of MySQL, as opposed to the 64-bit version, but I'm not sure if that made a difference.

Then, uninstall the Mysql gem

 gem uninstall mysql2

then reinstall it

sudo gem install mysql2

and finally

sudo install_name_tool -change libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.2.7/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle

and you should be good to go! Worked for me anyways. good luck!
