I''m trying to setup a dev site on Mac OS X tiger using WEBrick and
sqlite3, despite following all the tutorials, I''m am still getting
this error
ArgumentError in Contact#index
No database file specified. Missing argument: dbfile
script/server:49
when I try and use a controller.
I have
- checked the file permissions on the database file and folder (777),
- have made sure that I installed the sqlite3-ruby gem
- tested the database access in the rails console (failed)
- tried an absolute path in database.yml
and nothing seems to work?!?!?
If any one can shed some light on this for me, I would be greatly
appreciated as I really don''t want to install mysql on my ibook.
Thanks
Scott Arthur

Hi Scott - what does your database.yml file look like? Have you specified the sqlite database filename under the ''development'', ''test'' and ''production'' headings in the file (as below)? dbfile: /path/to/your/sqlite/file.sqlite Also, can you access the DB using the sqlite3 command line? One other gotcha is to make sure you have ''swig'' installed before you install the SQLite3 gem, as without that it uses the pure ruby adapter, which has several bugs.

Thanks heaps David I had database: /path/to/sqlite/file.db not dbfile: /path/to/sqlite/file.db It''s always something so simple!!
