Hey guys,
New to rails, trying to figure out something simple. Seems as though I cannot migrate a very simple mysql database using "rake db:migrate" command.
Here is the issue: I know rails defaults to sqllite right now, but I need to use mysql for a series of reasons.
Use the following commands
rails -d mysql MyMoviesSQL
cd MyMoviesSQL
script/generate scaffold Movies title:string rating:integer
rake db:migrate
never get past here because i see the following error:
in /Users/user/websites/MyMovieSQL)
rake aborted!
NoMethodError: undefined method `ord' for 0:Fixnum: SET NAMES 'utf8'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
using trace
XXXXX-macbook-pro:MyMovieSQL user$ rake db:migrate --trace
(in /Users/user/websites/MyMovieSQL)
** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute db:migrate
rake aborted!
NoMethodError: undefined method `ord' for 0:Fixnum: SET NAMES 'utf8'

no clue what is going on, if they want me to add a patch because the methods does not exist, please tell me which file to add it to, and also, how in the future do i figure out which file I need to patch (I see it looks like its a method in FixNum class)
here is a patch to a problem that looks similar, but its a different version of ruby http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00250.html
