MySQL driver for Rails in Windows 7 x64
mysql, ruby-on-rails, windows-7
Solution
My colleague had a similar problem while running rails on Windows 7. He had to replace the libmySQL.dll (in the PATH) with the one from InstantRails.
Problem
I've got problem with connecting to MySQL database on my freshly installed Windows 7 machine. I'm getting this error when I try to migrate my database. ``` !!! 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! 193: %1 is not valid Win32 application - C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql-2.8.1-x86-mswin32/lib/1.8/mysql_api.so ``` I currently have installed ``` ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32] mysql version 5.0.86 for Win64 gem 1.3.1 mysql-2.8.1-x86-mswin32 ```
