Localhost issues

Ruby

I just setup ruby and was trying to run the following commands:

class Story < ActiveRecord::Base; end
=> nil

story = Story.new

From what I read it said that there might be problem with /etc/hosts
I checked it and what I have in there is:

Do not remove the following line, or various programs

that require network functionality will fail.

127.0.0.1 localhost localhost

Have you checked your config/database.yml ?? try to restart your console
and open new cmd or shell then start again your console. If still error
try to update your Gem Active Record.
