chapter 6: scaffold syntax error

cwhite124 · November 29th, 2007, 12:22 AM

i'm trying to run the scaffold command to create the controller and the model for the store. everytime i run the command though i get the following error:

C:\rubydev\ch06\store>ruby script/generate scaffold Item Manage
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load': syntax error on line 18, col 2: ` host: localhost' (ArgumentError)

*********

any ideas? do i need to install a different version of mysql? i'm currently using:

mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for Win32 (ia32)

any info would be appreciated. thanks!

I'd check your database.yml points to a valid mysql socket, or server.

If your mysql server is running on a socket something like this would be typical:

Code:

development:
    adapter: mysql
    database: xyz_development
    socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
    host: localhost
    username: name
    password: pass

Or if mysql is running as a server:

Code:

production:
   adapter: mysql
   host: localhost
   database: xyz_production
   username: name
   password: pass
