When attempting to create some Rails components using below command, I  
receive  
the following errors:

[root@localhost blog]# rake db:create  
(in /root/work/blog)  
db/development.sqlite3 already exists  
[root@localhost blog]# script/generate controller home index

Suggestions for resolution? - GregN

So was your version of Ruby built with OpenSSL?
