I am on windows 7 and set up mysql through XAMPP.
I am now starting a new rails project (my first time developing in rails), and just set up the project.
I wanted to start the server so I used rails server. However it is complaining that
“The program can’t start because LIBMYSQL.dll is missing from your computer”
I know where libmysql.dll is stored at, so how do I tell rails to look there?
Libmysql.dll file is located in the bin directory of your mysql installation.
There also needs to be a copy of it in the Ruby\bin directory.
Copy it there and restart your server or console, if you are already run it.
