Scaffold generation problem

Rails
1

After a load of errors I had finally got rails working on OS X, until
that is i tried generating a scaffold. The line I used in the terminal
was:

./script/generate scaffold Post Blog

In response to this, I got this following error:

usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in load': syntax error on line 31, col -1:’ (ArgumentError)

Anyone have an idea what’s wrong, thanks in advance,

My guess is that you do not have:

  1. A database server installed or running, or
  2. A valid config/database.yml

No, I have mysql installed and the native bindings installed too using
the gem. my database.yml file is fine too. Also now when i connect to
the server i get this:

=> Booting lighttpd (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)
=> Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server (see config/lighttpd.conf for options)
