I did not follow Step 3 and Step 4 .....do we just need to give rail application name ???? and how to run script/server

Yeah, you need to assign some name to your Rails application. You can find more information regarding the `rails` command line utility using `rails --help`. `rails` in Rails 3 will show `rails new APP_PATH [options]`, so you should launch it like `rails new hello_world_app`.

Ok i have created a sample application. how do i view it in browser...sorry for my ignorance....just started with this.......

Sanjai Palliyil 2010-09-10 05:37:59

Change your working directory `cd your_app_name`, type `script/server`, wait a little bit (Ruby and Rails are slow on Windows), and point your browser to `localhost:3000`.

When i started the server i got the error message, Could not find gem mysql2 in any of the gem sources...!!!!

Sanjai Palliyil 2010-09-10 05:50:41

You should try to install it using `gem install mysql2` or replace it in your Gemfile to `mysql`, then `bundle install` and try to run the server again.
