Mysql and Ruby on Rails configuration in windows7 x86

Question

I install the RailsInstaller downloading from this site http://railsinstaller.org/ and also install the mysqlInstaller downloading from this site http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/ . Both I have installed in c:\\ drive. I have also installed mysql driver from ruby command gem install mysql. Now I haven't Idea how to configure mysql in Ruby on Rails. I have seen this answer MySQL driver for Rails in Windows 7 x64 they tell to replace libmySQL.dll but where to replace I didn't find such file. Does anyone have any Idea or solution about my problem?

Answer 1

I had same problem. following solution worked for me

Solution: the libmysql.dll file is located in the bin directory of your mysql installation. This file needs to be a copy of it in the Ruby\\bin directory.
