I'm having some difficulties with a new installation of Ruby on Rails. I want to use my application with MySQL.

Here's the problem: The server starts without a problem when I use the default database adapter (sqlite), but when I switch it to mysql2, the server won't start.

this is the error I get:

bin/rails:6: warning: already initialized constant APP_PATH ~/rails/testapi/bin/rails:6: warning: previous definition of APP_PATH was here

I have been searching for two hours now, and I've come to nothing that fixes the problem, but I read on a few forums that the startup script is executed twice.

I tried removing my app and re-creating it, but it didn't change anything.

Have anyone ever experienced this problem? And if so, did you find a solution?

Thank you

Ok, I found a solution to my problem here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10557507/rails-mysql-on-osx-library-not-loaded-libmysqlclient-18-dylib

It turns out that rake was not able to find the MySQL executable.
