How to set up a new project using an existing database and the provided project files.

I've been stuck on this step for weeks and it's driving me mad. I've followed the help and instructions in the other questions but always get errors. Most recently:

An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.3.15), and Bundler cannot continue.

I'm on Windows.

Does anyone know what needs to be done to set up a new project using the provided project files?

Okay, so just in case anyone else is pulling their hair out at this point.

The gemfile in Hampton's updated project uses different versions of rails, mysql etc. I replaced the gemfile with my original gemfile and also ran bundle update. That seemed to fix a lot.

Then in database.yml I had to update the database name, to the new one I set up.

Matt's solution worked for me too. Think the gemfile was just out of date.

Thanks a lot Matt!
