Unable to rake db:create

rubyonrails-talk
1

I m using ruby 1.8.7 on rails 2.3.5 with mysql 5.0 on windows. C:\Ruby187\rails\accounts>rake db:create (in C:/Ruby187/rails/accounts) rake aborted! syntax error on line 2, col 0: `encoding:utf8'

The following is the yml file i'm using

development: adapter:mysql encoding:utf8 reconnect:false database:accounts_development pool:5 username: password: host:localhost

There are no spaces in the file. Only one after password

In mysql i haven't set any password.(Though the default is root as whem mysql console i open it asks for pwd and on entering root it opens).

Kindly suggest.

Pls let me know if the genrated yml file has to be changed a lot. I have truncated my file to

test: adapter:mysql encoding:utf8 reconnect:false database:accounts_test pool:5 username: root password: host:localhost

no man its about space only you have to give a space after evry columns

13

YAML is a very space sensitive format. You need to respect spaces in nested keys and also between keys and their values.

If you respected the generated config/database.yml would notice it.

See this:

http://pastie.org/1215173

Notice the 2 leading spaces and the space between ":"

Also, you need an username.

Please, save the file in plain text, not UTF (the weird characters you're getting in the output is due garbage added by your editor).

hi, Actually while installing mysql 5.0 it asks for password. Google for how to set the password in mysql and in your database.yml file, maintain single space between every field e.g. adapter: mysql, encoding: utf8 and so on..... This might solve your problem.

15

hi, you better reinstall mysql. While installing it will ask for password. and default user name is "root"

16

Hi all,

Thanks a ton for the suggestions..It has finally worked...The problem was with the yaml file and spaces..

17

Thanks to you all..... rajeevsharma and others

Finally it was worked... :smiley:

rake db:migrate --trace and utf-8 was working for me to get out from the error... i successfully installed ruby193 in my windows8 and connected it with mysql5.6 Thanks to every body.... if any one need the instructions how to install ruby193 i will send you the document with instructions :smiley: mail me at pvvsmk.adm.srin@gmail.com
