Hello all,

I’m sure that this has been asked somewhere and probably answered but  
I can’t seem to find it searching, so I’ll ask.

I’m following the wiki rails ([http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/getting-](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/getting-)  
started/first-rails-app-walkthrough) walkthrough and when I run ‘rake  
db:migrate’ I get an abort. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Paul
