Hi,

I am using Instant Rails 1.6  
Rails 1.2.1  
Rake 0.7.3  
Ruby 1.8.5

But when i try to use rake command as rake db:migrate, i am getting the  
following error.  
rake aborted!  
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb,  
Rakefile.rb)  
C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.7.3/lib/rake.rb:  
1934:in `raw\_load\_rakefile’  
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Can anyone provide any clues?

Neha

Do you have a Rakefile in the directory where you ran your ‘rake  
db:migrate’ command?
