Slight muddle there: migrations change the database columns. Validations are applied in the model before the object is saved to the database. In the case of Snippets you have both kinds: there's a uniqueness constraint in the database which is supported by a validates_uniqueness call in the model class so that we can return advisory messages rather than just throwing errors. I don't know what the current situation is with the vhost extension but your fix to the validates_uniqueness call is right and you can remove the uniqueness constraint from the database with this migration: remove_index :snippets, :name You'll find similar validations on Layout and User but perhaps those won't matter. best, will
