Question

I am following this backbone rails turotial.

The tutorial says they are using Ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3.0.3.

I am using Ruby 1.9.3, and I created an rvm gemset for this tutorial and installed rails 3.0.3 into the gemset.

I ran bundle install which installed mysql2 version 0.3.11

When I ran rake db:create I got this error:

WARNING: This version of mysql2 (0.3.11) doesn’t ship with the ActiveRecord adapter bundled anymore as it’s now part of Rails 3.1

WARNING: Please use the 0.2.x releases if you plan on using it in Rails <= 3.0.x

So I ran:

gem uninstall mysql2
gem install mysql --version 0.2
rake db:create

Then I got this error:

Could not find mysql2-0.3.11 in any of the sources

Try running bundle install.

If I run bundle install it takes me back to the first problem.

Not sure what the I should try next.

Answer 1

place in Gemfile

gem 'mysql2','0.2.7'

then run

bundle install
