Restore vendor/rails, as Radiant is always tied to a specific Rails version. The error is in your database.yml file, probably line 23, column 11 as the error says. Sean ---

Sorry, didn’t realize you replied. I did check the file and everything looked fine…then I sent the email and of course found the answer 30 seconds later. I looked in an old config file and realized what was missing, the host: entry. I used the one from trunk and filled in my values, I didn’t even bother checking if they were all there.
