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

In my case, when I also got this error:

rake aborted! Please install the mysql adapter: gem install activerecord-mysql-adapter (mysql is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile.)

After I searched Google and tried many ways, it didn't work. Finally, the answer is

• Navigate to the root of your app, run open gemfile
• Add the line gem 'mysql2', '< 0.3.7' directly below the gem line for rails.
