After upgrading from Rails 2.0.2 to 2.3.5 my WEBrick server in NetBeans started printing the following message on its log and the application would not connect to the database.

The bundled mysql.rb driver has been removed from Rails 2.2. Please install the mysql gem and try again: gem install mysql.


I installed the refered gem but would still have the same problem when starting WEBrick, even after restart of the IDE.

If you are using Netbeans as a development environment for creating Ruby on Rails software, you should know how to debug your application. Using these out-of-the-box frameworks are really great when it comes to the speed of the development however, whenever you face strange behavior, debugging is the key.

I downloaded and installed today the Netbeans 6.7 and for my surprise its IDE was in Portuguese. I prefer using the IDE in English, so I tried to change it using the way I remembered from previous versions, i.e. at the Tools menu. As it happens, it is not possible to change the language of the IDE through the interface, because it is based on the locale of your machine.
