PORails error 500 on local mac

Body
copied!<p>Ok, I'm a noob with rails... so I just set up rails with RVM and created a new project, and when I try to visit a newly created view I'm getting an error 500.</p> <p>Heres my setup:</p> <ul> <li>OSX 10.6.5</li> <li>Installed MySQL 64bit</li> <li>RVM installed ruby 1.8.7 and rails 2.3.8 (no other rails or ruby except for the system ruby) <code>rvm install 1.8.7</code>, <code>rvm use --create 1.8.7@rails2</code>, <code>gem install rails -v=2.3.8</code></li> <li>Passenger with Apache <code>gem install passenger</code>, <code>rvmsudo passenger-install-apache2-module</code></li> <li>Passenger preference pane</li> <li>Turned on websharing</li> </ul> <p>I then proceeded to setup a rails project in my development folder called testapp, added it in the passenger preference pane, and then ran <code>script/generate controller Say</code>, defined an action hello, and then created a view in the app/view/say folder called hello.</p> <p>Now I'm getting a 500 error when visiting myapp.local/say/hello, what am i doing wrong?</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p> <p>I checked the logs and also tried running using WEBrick instead of passenger and apache. I got thrown back the same errors. I don't think I should post the entire log, should I? But the first error is </p> <blockquote> <p>no such file to load -- sqlite3</p> </blockquote> <p>I have not yet setup a db, I was going to use mysql, but I didn't want to install it since I'm not using models yet. Is it a requirement?</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE 2:</strong></p> <p>So I installed the mysql gem with <code>gem install mysql -- --include=/usr/local/lib</code> (not sure if this is right). I then created a rails app with <code>rails -d mysql myapp</code>. And set the password in the database.yml. I'm getting a new error now:</p> <blockquote> <p>Unknown database 'myapp_development'</p> </blockquote> <p>So I have to create a database. Why am I being forced to create a db at all?</p>
