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.
