Hi all,
Thnx for the reply.
Finally It worked for me. I’m not sure how it got corrected by
itself . Because, I tried with a single space after : , i tried
restarting the server, I tried changing the db user/pwd, and tried with
a environment=development in the server startup. Nothing worked out for
me till I restarted my machine !!!
anyways i’m on rails now
