rake db:create generated “if you set the charset m

问题:

I got a rails project in version 2.3.8. When i tried to run rake db:create, the below error occured.

Couldn't create database for {"encoding"=>"utf8", "username"=>"root", "adapter"=>"mysql", "database"=>"claims_test", "host"=>"localhost", "password"=>"root", "socket"=>"/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock"}, charset: utf8, collation: utf8_unicode_ci   
(if you set the charset manually, make sure you have a matching collation)

And I created DB manually and tried to run the application. And now I am getting this error.

/!\ FAILSAFE /!\  Tue May 10 20:38:48 +0530 2011  
  Status: 500 Internal Server Error  
  uninitialized constant MysqlCompat::MysqlRes  

I tried with both Webrick and mongrel and it seems like same cause for both issue.

Ah, this error is so common. Its MySQL. Here is the solution. Change paths as required. Let us know how you get on. All the best.

export ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64" gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-dir=/usr/local \ --with-mysql-config=/usr/local/bin/mysql_config

I ran into the same error. In my case, the problem was that I hadn't created the MySQL user who was specified in database.yml.

mysql --user=root mysql
grant all privileges on *.* to 'user_name_here'@'localhost' identified by 'password_here';
exit;
