I just installed the mysql module last night, but haven’t gone so far as to
try it with eruby (yet 
I don’t know what web server or OS you are using, but let’s assume Apache on
Linux. Let’s also assume you have the mysql database binary installation on
/usr/local/mysql, with all pertinent lib, bin, include, etc directories
under that.
You may want to add the mysql library to Apache’s environment settings
(assuming again that you dynamically load mod_env):
LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so
AddModule mod_env.c
… and of course reload apache.
Again, I haven’t set up mysql for use with Apache/eruby yet, but this stands
out as a likely suspect. DBI module problems are 90% environment settings
related problems.
Also, don’t forget that the install for the mysql module needs the various
paths explicitly set; if mysql is not in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/include,
/usr/local/bin. My binary install for glibc6 put everything in
./mysql-version-blah.blah. If you are building from source everything may
be in the right place.
Also, also don’t forget to have LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in your profile (edit
/etc/profile if you can) when you make the module. export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=blah:blah:/usr/local/mysql/lib and ‘source’ the profile with
. /etc/profile to load it into your current ENV

Subject: dbi problem
Hi.
I’m trying to make ruby dbi work. I searched around, but could not find an
answer to this, so please forgive me if you’ve heard this one before…
I get the following error when trying to run my script (with eruby, the
script is supposed to be called from an rhtml page):
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/dbi/dbi.rb:434:in load_driver': Could not load driver (uninitialized constant Mysql at DBI::DBD) (DBI::InterfaceError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/dbi/dbi.rb:349:in_get_full_driver’
from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/dbi/dbi.rb:329:in connect' from ./pgmkr.rb:125:indb_connect’
The offending line is:
@dbh = DBI.connect(datasrc, usr, pwd)
This is my ruby version:
ruby 1.6.6 (2001-12-26) [i586-linux-gnu]
This file exists:
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/DBD/Mysql/Mysql.rb
If I run this script (from the syngress Ruby Developer’s guide book)
DBI.available_drivers.each do |driver|
puts "Driver: " + driver
DBI.data_sources(driver).each do |dsn|
puts " Datasource: " + dsn
end
end
I get this output:
Driver: dbi:Mysql:
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/dbi/dbi.rb:434:in load_driver': Could not load driver (uninitialized constant Mysql at DBI::DBD) (DBI::InterfaceError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.6/dbi/dbi.rb:377:indata_sources’
from db_list.rb:7
from db_list.rb:5:in `each’
from db_list.rb:5
So, I am confused…these scripts works on my WIN machine at work…am I
doing something dumb?
