Rails 2.3 and Mysql 5.1

The title says it all. I wish Ruby on Rails wasn’t so difficult to get set up on Windows. It sounds like most Ruby on Rails developers are Mac OS X or Linux users.

I was just trying to get a basic app set up with MySQL 5.1, Rails 2.3 and Ruby 1.8.6 and got this error when trying to run rake db:migrate:

rake aborted!
undefined method `each’ for #

I found an answer here:

Looks like most people uninstalled MySQL 5.1 and went back to 5.0. People also seemed to have better luck with Postgresql.

Also Comments :
I’m running MYSQL 5.1 and had a similar problem. I have Ruby 1.8.6. I followed these instructions and the undefined method error was resolved when running rake.
