Struggling to boot up WEBrick

Question

First a little indication of what I'm running:

I've created a new rails project called simple_cms under C:\Users\Dean\Documents\Ruby_Projects\ .

I then navigate into the project directory, so my path then is C:\Users\Dean\Documents\Ruby_Projects\simple_cms\

I then run (with my administrator command prompt)

rails server

but I then get a whole lot of errors but the most prominent one being:

The specified module could not be found some\path\mysql2\1.9\mysql2.so

Any ideas?

EDIT: Attached is my full command prompt output...

how did you install ruby, usually the best way to install ruby and rails on windows is to use the rubyinstaller — Egryan, Jan 14 '13 at 12:54

It looks like your mysql2 gem hasn't been installed correctly.

Check out the answer to this question for info on properly installing the mysql2 gem. That should take care of the rest of your errors.
