Please install mysql adapter 'gem install activerecord-mysql-adapter'

Question

I\'m having trouble finding a solution to this problem. I\'m getting the error:

Please install the mysql adapter: \'gem install activerecord-mysql-adapter\'
         


        

Answer 1

1) You need to update your config/database.yml file and change:

adapter: mysql

into

adapter: mysql2

2) You need to update your Gemfile and explicitly add activerecord-mysql2-adapter dependency there:

gem 'mysql2'
gem 'activerecord-mysql2-adapter'
