If you are getting the following error using Instant Rails for Rails 2.0 here is a quick fix that will get you working again.
“The procedure entry point mysql_stmt_row_tell could not be located in the dynamic link library libmysql.dll”
You will need to manually copy the libmysql.dll to the \ruby\bin directory. You can find the libmysql.dll in the \mysql\bin directory in side you Instant Rails folder.
Thanks!!

Thanks. This issue was annoying me. It’s quite poor to show customers their site, but before it runs they have to click through some error messages.
Keep up the good work

Hi,
I don’t have a ruby directory in the installation directory. I tried to create it by myself but it didn’t help.
can you help?
Thanks !

Thank you! I wonder why the Instant Rails guys never fixed this, if it’s so easy…

Wow, I go away for a few days and get more views than ever.
Tal,
The first thing I would do if you are using instant rails 2 is to make sure the zip file you downloaded isn’t corrupt. Try downloading it and unzipping it again. If that doesn’t work for ya, let me know and we can try a couple of other things.
