Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies, but I'm still stuck with "rake db:migrate" failing. I get a popup window that says that LIBMYSQL.DLL can't be found and the command line says that c:/ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/ ruby 1.9.1/gems/mysql-2.8.1-x86-mingw32/lib/1.9/mysql_api.so can't be found (the statement has the Windows slashes backward but I don't know where that request is coming from in the code and I suspect that it doesn't matter, anyway). Using the parameter "--trace" shows a lot of lines but none of them are marked as creating the error. I've installed MySQL 5.5.13 today from the MySQL.com community site but I have no evidence that that is being used. Any suggestions on what is stopping this progress would really be appreciated! Barney
