Hello all, I am new to RoR and am working my way through Timothy Fisher's Ruby On Rails Bible. I'm stuck on page 81. I have followed the steps leading to this page, i.e.
cd rails_projects rails contactlist <creates all the directories> ruby script/server webrick <shows the Welcome Aboard page> open a cmd window and run mysql: create database contactlist_development; use contactlist_development; create table contacts (id int not null auto_increment, ...etc.); show tables; <shows table contacts> describe contacts; <shows table structure> <switch back to other window> ruby script/generate model Contact <shows directories created> <look at app/models/contact.rb, which shows:> class Contact < ActiveRecord:: Base end ruby script/console Loading development environment <this works fine> my_contact = Contact.new <here's the problem: instead of showing me the attributes of the instance, I get the message: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid: Could not find table 'contacts' from c:\program files\BitNami RubyStack/ruby/lib/ruby/gems... etc.... and many other error messages too. Ohhh! I just noticed that another of the error messages indicates that it is looking for a sqlite3_adapter.rb:29. Hmmm. How do I tell it that I'm using mySQL not sqlite? For most or all of you, this is probably a trivial question, but for me it is a show stopper. I'm very excited by the language and the framework and the book, but at the moment I'm slamming my forehead on this wall. Please help.
