title: How to resolve Please install the mysql adapter: `gem install activerecord-mysql-adapter` (mysql is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile.)
body: <p>I am running a rails3 app on Dreamhost: not the best call but I need it operational before I can pitch migrating to Heroku.</p>
  
  <p>I am using rails 3.2.1, and ruby 1.8.7 with </p>
  
  <p>gem 'mysql2', '~> 0.2.7'</p>
  
  <p>in my Gemfile... </p>
  
  <p>I get the following error when I deploy and reload:</p>
  
  <p>Please install the mysql adapter: <code>gem install activerecord-mysql-adapter</code> (mysql is not part of the bundle. Add it to Gemfile.)</p>
  
  <p>I have tried gem 'mysql2', gem 'mysql2', '&lt; 0.3' and get the exact same issue.</p>
  
  <p>Any other ideas?</p>
