I only know about SQLServer 2005 and 2008, not 6.5. Anyway, here is a list of things I had to do to get a project working with 2005 using Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 2.3.5 and Mongrel as the web server. You might need to skip/change some of the steps. I hope it helps:
1. Install Ruby (1.8.6): http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/ 2. Install rubygems: a. http://rubygems.org/pages/download (zip version) b. Unpack to a directory and cd there c. ruby setup.rb 3. Install rails: gem install rails –v=2.3.5 4. Install mongrel: gem install mongrel 5. Install mongrel service: gem install mongrel_service 6. Install SQL Server adapter: gem install activerecord-sqlserver- adapter 7. Install ODBC gem: gem install odbc-rails 8. Install authentication gem: gem install authlogic 9. Install encryption gem: gem install attr_encrypted 10. Install SQL Server Management utility (from Microsoft) 11. Create SQL Server DB 12. Create login in SQL Server 13. Create DB user 14. Create DSN in Windows: a. Control Panel -> Adminstrative Tasks -> Data Sources (ODBC) b. Click on System DSN -> Add c. Select type SQL Server i. Name: *Give it a name* ii. Description: *Give it a description* iii. Server: Server name (*whatever name you can see in the SQL Server Management Utility*) iv.
