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). -- Luis Lavena -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
