You get this when bundle install?
try bundle install --trace and post what you get.

These are extremely old versions, as I'm sure you're aware. That particular version of mysql2 gem is not the last of the 0.3.x series, so you should first try version 0.3.21, the last of the 0.3.x versions: https://rubygems.org/gems/mysql2/versions/0.3.21

What version of mysql are you linking against? You should be using the "most recent" version of the older client library, probably MySQL 5.1.73 (last of the 5.1 series) given the age of your other components, or similarly another "last of the series" for 5.5 or 5.6. Definitely don't go any newer, you'll start to run into other issues.

Finally, again because of the age of your components, I recommend looking for a paid support contract agency that specializes in older Rails. They should offer bugfix-and-security-backport versions in a way that meets your needs that are beyond the capacity of a small open source project to offer (in other words: I will not accept pull requests that "fix" the 0.3.x branch. It is done and closed.)

@Faq i get this error while running db:migrate

But then you saw
Tasks: TOP => db:migrate (See full trace by running task with --trace)

Add it and post whole output.
