Thank you very much Teresa, it worked fine with me too! :)

I did exactly what Teresa suggested and now the message in the browser has changed to:

Template is missing

Missing template app/greeting.html.erb in view path C:/Documents and Settings/Me/Desktop/rubydev/hello/app/views

Has anyone else had this?
=========================
Try creating RubyDev under C:\. I remember reading in the first few pages that short directories with no spaces between words works best for RubyRails applications
After opening up the CMD (command) window type:
CD Press enter. Then enter:
md rubydev

Press enter. Then create the hello directory

I just got it working too!

1. Install the sqlite3 gem
    ==> gem install sqlite3-ruby

2. Download the sqlite3.dll from
    http://sqlite.org/download.html

(only download the DLL)

3. The download should include 2 files
     - sqlite3.dll
     - sqlite3.def

These need to be put in your path. Chances are your ruby\bin is
already in your environment path. Putting them in there does the trick.

Yes, I got it to work too, but I had to use the following:

gem install sqlite3-ruby --version=1.2.2

As explained in this article: http://domhackers.blogspot.com/2008/...n-windows.html

Thanks!

I already had MySQL installed, so I followed the instructions from fraiser.et and was able to get the 'Yes, It's Working' message to appear in my browser. However, the window with the WEBrick stays open for exactly two (2) web page 'opens', and then it terminates and I get a 'Page not found' error in my browser window if I try to open the page a 3rd time. This happens whether I open the browser 3 times, or I open the browser and then click "refresh" twice. (The page does open correctly, then refresh correctly the first time, but not the second time I click 'refresh'. MS Windows XP, MySQL 5.1, IE 7.0.

This is what the WEBrick cmd screen looks like after two browser opens, and then the window completely goes 'bye-bye' when I open it for the 3rd time:

C:\>cd \rubydev\hello

C:\rubydev\hello>ruby script/server

Any suggestions? Or is this what is supposed to happen?

Hi,

This is all great information; but I am a total noob. Where do you get only these DLLs from...I cannot find them.
Does someone have more complete instructions to follow this all the way through end to end without having to piece it all together. I can't believe this book is a POS right from the first chapter....especially one that's called BEGINNING....Ruby on Rail....what gives?

Not sure if anyone is looking at this forum anymore but I found that downloading and installing Instant Rails from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=904 works great. You do have to go through the Rails interface though. But after that it is cake.
