Some time ago, I managed to get RoR to work in Windows XP. I tried to make it work on Windows 7 for 2 days, but there simply is not, there is always a problem that Google cannot answer, no matter what I try.
Can someone give me a guide or something to make it work on Windows 7 or XP? Even Ubuntu, but I better not go through this maze again.
I suppose I'm going to install Windows XP on a virtual machine and start from there.
I need RoR and mysql - what versions, where to download them and what steps can I take?
On the other hand, how do you install mysql2 (version <0.3) on rails 3.0.7? Because it automatically tries something over 0.3 that does not work on rails 3.0.7, and if I try the gemfile trick with 0.2.7, I don’t know how to specify the configuration parameters, and of course it doesn’t It will work if I don’t give it the mysql lib location and include directories.
I also tried using rails 3.1 beta, and everything goes smoothly until I start the server and the site never loads on localhost: 3000.
