MySQL connection error

[sacobra]

Hi

I'm new to Ruby on Rails. I have MySQL 4.1.13 installed.
I created a new table and model and controller for that. When I try to view the http://localhost:3000/book/new, I get the following page

Mysql::Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query: SHOW FIELDS FROM books

What could be going wrong?

Regards,

Try executing:

gem install mysql

To make sure you have the appropriate MySQL drivers installed.
