Hey guys

It’s been a while, i can’t remember exactly what i did here and i don’t use windows any more. But, i think that all i was saying was that windows didn’t recognise the ’svn’ command, because the location of svn.exe needed to be added to the PATH variable – this is an environment variable which windows uses to look for executables. If you have a program in (eg) “c:/blah/foo”, if you add “c:/blah/foo” to the PATH then you can run that program from any folder.

To edit the PATH variable (this is in windows XP), right click on ‘My computer’ and choose ‘properties’. Click on the ‘advanced’ tab and then the ‘Environment variables’ button. Look in the ‘System variables’ box for the Path variable, select it and hit edit. You’ll see a list of locations separated by semicolons. Go to the far right, add a semicolon, and then the location of the folder where the svn exe is. OK all the way back out and you should be done. To check, open a command line window and type ’svn –help’ – you should get the svn help text.

Hope that helps…

Hi,

If we’re talking about MySQL, running “TRUNCATE TABLE [tableName]” will reset the auto increment counter. It’s also significantly faster than “DELETE FROM TABLE [tableName]” (which you correctly stated will not reset the auto increment counter) when there are a lot of rows in the table because it basically deletes the files and creates new ones based on the schema.

Hi, i’m fighting against the same problem right now.
What do you mean with:

‘I added the svn exe to my path variable, and forced reinstall – worked first time’

Where do you added what? Do you have an source code example?

Thanks superbnerb, i’ve done as you suggested, using migrations to set up the tables, and also a brief explanation about foreign keys in the comments table.

I also added a note about the latest version of rails, 1.2.5, which has some pretty radical changes which will mean that this (and most others) tutorial won’t work. Use rails 1.2.3 or earlier to follow this tutorial!
