When working with VWP I saw a very frequent user error where the users did not make the database driver available to the server. It is too soon to tell, but we see this problem with Rails apps as well. So far we have just heard from one user who checked the Access Database Using JDBC checkbox and then didn't relate the subsequent errors they saw to the fact that the server didn't see the driver. I realize that there are several database options, and can be more than one driver that works for a specific database server, but is there anyway we can warn, if they check this box, that the driver is missing? Or maybe when they click Finish? Note: Tor responded... That would be nice. Ideally, we should do some more work here such that we also actually connect to the database in the Services window such that you can operate on the database there - and vice versa: if you've configured a database connection there you can easily reuse it for your Rails projects.
