rails mysql adapter error

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'

when I specify either ruby-mysql or mysql2 in my Gemfile. This has only happened since I've upgraded to Rails 3.1.0-rc1. I'm running OSX 10.6, Ruby 1.9.2.

I created a Rails project on windows and moved it to a machine running Fedora. I solved this problem by renaming the "Gemfile.lock" to "old_Gemfile.lock". Of course, you must still specify the adapter as 'mysql2' and include the appropriate gem in your gemfile.

Fixed the problem by updating the gemfile for my app to identify mysql2 as part of the bundle.

To do this, 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.

While in terminal at the root of your app, run bundle install

Run bundle show mysql2 to verify the bundle worked. You should be good to go with the adapter now.

My environment is Rails 3.1, MySql 5.5, Ruby 1.9.2.

You'll have to change your config/database.yml to use the mysql2 adapter instead of mysql.

So replace:

adapter: mysql

With:

adapter: mysql2

I had to enforce the use of mysql2 gem version 0.2.7 and while trying to upgrade my rails 3.0.7 app to 3.1.0.rc1, I also noticed ,that you'll need the following new gems in your Gemfile, too:

gem 'mysql2', '< 0.3' # as stated above

# Asset template engines
gem 'json'
gem 'sass'
gem 'coffee-script'
gem 'uglifier'
# other required things for rails 3.1
gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'mustang' # this is ONE execjs backend of many, and the only one that worked for me.

Tell me if that worked for you.
