Hi,
I have a rather simple problem. Just installed Rails on OS X Leopard and
the database connection to MySQL doesn’t work from Rails.
I’m following Apples Expenses example
(http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html).
I’ve created the app with the command
rails expenses -d mysql
I can connect to the database with a GUI tool, but Rails can’t
communicate with it.
When I run
rake migrate
i get the error “Don’t know how to build task ‘migrate’”.
The I found a thread here on Ruby Forum
(Don't know how to build task 'migrate --? - Rails - Ruby-Forum) which describes almost the same
problem and tried the command
rake db:migrate --trace
which gives me this error:
rake db:migrate --trace
(in /Users/morten/Projects/expenses)
** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute db:migrate
rake aborted!
./db/migrate//001_accounts.rb:11: syntax error, unexpected $end,
