RoR Error When Doing: rake db:schema:load

Rails
1

Hey, I am new to this and I thought I had finally set up everything
perfectly after three days of trying to configure it. However I run this
command:

rake db:schema:load

and I get an error “syntax error on line 23, col 11: `’”. The error
however is now with the schema it’s with the ruby install itself as you
can see with the trace I ran:

chris-campbells-computer:~/Sites/beast Chris$ rake db:schema:load
–trace
(in /Users/Chris/Sites/beast)
** Invoke db:schema:load (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)

Any ideas? Im getting really frustrated!

The problem is likely in your database.yml file and not in your Ruby
install, so I’d start there.

Yes, that is what I thought at first, but the referenced lines and
surrounding areas is fine. The database.yml is actually from the ruby
forum called “Beast”. I got it from the SNV.
