Bill,
First, I really appreciate your help. At the risk of sounding naïve, in response to Dheeraj's post that "You need to add it to the gemfile and run the bundle command." How do I do that? I guess this is where I need to be more specific about where I left off. Ok, the tutorial that I mentioned here: http://blog.sudobits.com/2012/05/02/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts/
uses the Webrick server. For some reason, when I started that server and then tried to view the page using port 3000, it did not connect. Therefore, I had my VirtualBox setup with Ubuntu and using Apache2 on port 8080, which I could get to from my host OS. I wasn't seeing that test app described at the above link, until I went into the folder http://localhost:8080/test_app/
Of course, now, for some reason, I cannot get into any of the apps that I just installed hours ago. I get Not Found at the test_app link that I included just above. I can go to the http://localhost:8080/ uri and see some web content that was put there. However, the test_app that worked fine just a little while ago, is not working now. Had it been working I would have said that the last problem to address is creating an application with mysql support.
It is frustrating that my problem is now apparently related to my Linux installation on my system and I cannot address the other issues of moving on to learning RoR.
1) test_app from the tutorial: http://blog.sudobits.com/2012/05/02/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts/ **was** working fine with apache2, not with Webrick. Unlike in that tutorial, I couldn't go to just http://localhost:8080 or localhost:3000, I had to add the directory in my browsers address bar, then I think I had to go into public.
2) How are you installing the mysql2 gem? Are you using Bundler? In the above referenced tutorial, I didn't need mysql. However, when I added that to the command line:
rails new simple_cms –d mysql
I got the message: "An error occurred while installing mysql2 (0.3.11), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that 'gem install mysqsl2 –v '0.3.11'` succeeds before bundling. So, I then enter
gem install mysql2 –v '0.3.11'
Then I try my install again... when asked to continue and over-write, I say Y. Then I get the same error.
What is curious is that if I include the ` after the gem install mysql –v '0.3.11' it gives me a different prompt.
3) Is the gem specified in the Gemfile? Were you able to rake db:migrate or is that where you're having your problem?
I don't know what the latter means. I can look at the Gemfile and it has this in it:
source :rubygems
gemspec
I know it is somewhat off topic, but I have to somehow figure out why the apps I created previously, php and the RoR app (without the msyql support) are not now accessible from a browser.
Thanks,
Bruce

So.... need a little more info. How are you installing the mysql2 gem? Are you using Bundler? Is the gem specified in the Gemfile? Were you able to rake db:migrate or is that where you're having your problem?
Best regards,

Anyway, I keep going in circles. I get a message saying that I need to install gem msyql2 which I do and it reports back with no error and so I try again to install the app with the rails command and I get the same error.
