Please install mysql adapter 'gem install activerecord-mysql-adapter'

Question

I\'m having trouble finding a solution to this problem. I\'m getting the error:

Please install the mysql adapter: \'gem install activerecord-mysql-adapter\'
         


        

Answer 1

Step 1. gem 'mysql2', "~>0.3.11" instead of gem 'mysql2' in Gemfile

Step 2. putting mysqllib.dll (available at mysql installation C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24\lib ) in the C:\ruby2.0.0\bin folder solved the rake db:migrate problem and successfully connected my rails with mysql (database.yml contains mysql2)

I'm running windows 7, 64bit, mysql 64bit, ruby 2.0.0 [x64-mingw32]

Thanks you all for your inputs.
