Topic: rake db:create errors

I am new to Rails like most people under this form and I am having issues with simply creating my database. Its just a simple test database. I understand that it uses sqlite3 by default and I have added the necessary files from the sqlite site to the ruby192\bin folder as I am using Windows Server 2008 R2. However, whenever I attempt to create even the default database I am receiving errors.I have made a directory called sharebox and performed my bundle install. When I attempt to use the command

Re: rake db:create errors

That is odd, only part of my post appeared. I had posted the code yesterday along with sites I used as a reference.

c:\sharebox>

I get errors similar to this even if I attempt to use MySQL5.5 as well. I have made no changes to the config for the database. This is me just trying to build a general default database. 

One of the sites I was using as a reference was:
http://www.prowl.in/sharebox.html

I had two more that were specific to sqlite3 however I don't have them where I am at currently. Again, I had put this in my original post so I am not sure why it didn't come through yesterday. Sorry about that.

Re: rake db:create errors

Could you post the result of the command:

gem env

and all the gems you have installed as follows:

gem list

The second question, - is 'sharebox' is your Rails project ? If so, post its database.yml content too.Thks.

Re: rake db:create errors

A tweet from DHH earlier. Rake .9.0 breaks Rails and several other things, you need to add the following in your Gemfile:

gem "rake", "0.8.7"

and run 'bundle install comand.
Or just add to your Rake file:

module ::YourApplicationName  
  class Application
    include Rake::DSL
  end
end

Re: rake db:create errors

Oh Thank God. Thanks for the help. Now I can finally try to play around with this and maybe actually learn rails.
