I ran script/generate model Book and I got: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'': syntax error on line 23, col 2: ` socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'' (ArgumentError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb:819:in `database_configuration'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb:391:in `initialize_database'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb:139:in `process'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb:112:in `send'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/initializer.rb:112:in `run'' from /home/kedar/Projects/ror/people/config/environment.rb:13 from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'' from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.2.2/lib/commands/generate.rb:1 from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'' from /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'' from script/generate:3 then I realized that I had mistakenly had an entry password:secret instead of password: secret in database.yml. Is database.yaml so sensitive to a space character? I couldn''t ascertain it by looking at http://www.yaml.org/refcard.html. -Kedar -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
