RadRails 0.4

RadRails 0.4 is out.

I am still having the same database connection problem though. I found this post on Sam Ruby's blog that describes my problem but there is still no solution.

I also ordered Agile Web Development with Rails and Programming Ruby (2nd. Ed.) to further my knowledge on Ruby on Rails.

Setting up Rails in Eclipse

It has been a while since my last post. I tried to use http://www.radrails.org/ with Eclipse but there seems to be a problem with connecting to the database. I think it has something to do with the new password encryption scheme that MySQL uses. Every time I try to start the web server, it complains about not being able to connect to the database. But the web site actually work and I can get data back from the database. I also not able to create scaffolding since it can't connect to the database. I haven't look deeply to see what is the real reason for the failure yet.

I also found this website that has instructions on how to setup Rails for Eclipse on Windows. I don't see a reason why these instruction wouldn't work in a Linux environment with some minor changes.

Hopefully, I will find sometime to give these instructions a try.
