Topic: Unable to connect to webrick server

Very new to Ruby / Rails, so please bear with me!

I'm working through the lynda.com 'Ruby on Rails 3 - Essential Training'.

I have Ruby, Rails and MySql set up as per the instructions. However, when I attempt to connect to the server by typing 'rails_server', I get the following error :

/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.3.11/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle: dlopen(/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/mysql2-0.3.11/lib/mysql2/mysql2.bundle, 9): Library not loaded: libmysqlclient.18.dylib (LoadError)

Re: Unable to connect to webrick server

Taylor Bright, a Philadelphia native, has come a long way as an actress, singer and a songwriter. Bright was 15 when she acquired an enthusiastic online following. With a youthful style of pop; her song “Striped Socks” was a hit in the teen market and made its presence felt on Billboard’s dance charts. But artists grow and evolve, and Bright’s music has matured considerably since then; today, she favors a much edgier approach to her song writing. Bright, having left behind the pop-rock of her past, characterizes her present direction as “pop with an urban edge and familiar dance undertone.” That direction is perhaps best exemplified in the infectious single “Always Be This Way”, executive produced by Jim Beanz. http://www.facebook.com/TaylorBrightPage

Re: Unable to connect to webrick server

I am actually on the same tutorial although the last few days i've been doing some coding on my own as this is the 3rd rails tutorial i've worked through. Anyhow you need to do a db migration first. If you listen to the rest of that video they say if you run into this error to skip to chapter 6 or 7 and then come back. I just did that example with SQLite instead as it seems like using MySQL is fighting rails and i don't want to do that. Of course i haven't finished the demo app yet, so i'm not sure i'll be able to without using MySQL, but i see no reason why not. I figure if nothing else it'll be a little challenge to myself to adapt his code to SQLite.
