  • Have you installed the mysql2 gem and run `bundle install`? – Joel Brewer Mar 28 '15 at 01:16
  • This guy's on windows, that other question wasn't **and** none of the answers were accepted or even upvoted much. – smathy Mar 28 '15 at 01:16

    Felipe, Windows is a huge pain to develop Rails apps on. There are like 1000 steps to getting an app written, and you're on step 5 and facing your first big annoying problem, and between here and 1000 there are another 300 other issues entirely related to running on Windows. Do yourself a favor and use Vagrant or Docker or something and run a Linux virtual machine to develop your Rails app in. – smathy Mar 28 '15 at 01:19
  • Thank for your help, I will take your advice. :D – Felipe Ponce de León Mar 28 '15 at 01:50

I came across this post where it seems that someone is having a similar issues to yours. Looks like some have suggested trying RubyInstaller.
