Hello,

I’m trying to install Radiant, but after trying on and off for a week,  
it’s been unsuccessful. Right know I’m getting this error and I don’t  
know what to do next. I’m trying in a VMware instance with Windows 2003  
and the lastest MySQL

Many thanks in advance.

That is really strange. It looks like it is failing to run the  
migrations to create the initial database schema. You could try creating  
the tables manually.

John - FYI, I ran into the same issue.

Radiant 0.6.1  
FreeBSD 6.2  
MySQL 4.1.22

I have one instance of Radiant running fine. I deployed a second copy  
and it won’t rake db:bootstrap (event tried rake db:migrate VERSION=1).

Are people continuing to have this issue? I am getting the same error.

I have installed Radiant at least 4 times on my machine over the past  
few months and have not gotten this issue until recently. Now I am  
completely frustrated by it.

Create the admin user (press enter for defaults).  
Name (Administrator):  
Username (admin):  
Password (radiant):  
rake aborted!  
Mysql::Error: Table ‘daybreak2\_development.users’ doesn’t exist: SHOW  
FIELDS FROM users

Has anyone true determined the root caused and found a workaround?

Would appreciate any info. to help resolve this.

~Mario

This is just a guess here, but make sure you are running the migrate  
in the right environment. I think for production, you should run

rake production db:migrate
