Mysql adapter ActiveRecord in Ruby throwing: 'Packets out of order'

Question

Ruby version: 1.9.1 Mysql version: 5.0

code written was:

    require \"rubygems\"
    require \"active_record\"
    puts \"1\"
    class Source <          


        

Answer 1

Finally, after putting all my efforts with MySql and Postgresql, I am able to make successful connection with MySql.
Working set involves:
Ruby Version: 1.87
MySql Version: 5.5
To work with ActiveRecord, one need to have the adapter installed. On command prompt, write:
gem install mysql2.

Code to build successful connection of MySql database with Ruby under the layer of ActiveRecord:

require "rubygems"
require "active_record"
class Source < ActiveRecord::Base
    set_table_name "sources"
    ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
        :adapter => "mysql2",
        :host => "localhost",
        :username => "test",
        :password => "test",
        :port => 3306,
        :database => "TestDB",
        :socket => "mysql"
    )
end
source = Source.find(:first, :conditions => [ "source_id = ?", 2 ])
puts source.source_name

Note: Adapter used is mysql2 and not mysql
