I’m trying to setup Rforum for the 1st time and I’m confused by step 4:
Setup the database tables:
RAILS_ENV=production rake migrate
I’ve completed the tutorial in the Agile Rails book, but I have no idea
what this step actually is. My guess is that this line needs to be
added to one of the files in Rforum.
All the examples I’ve seen have created the tables from a db schema
files ( i.e. create.sql )
I was just hoping that someone might be able to help point me in the
right direction.
thanks,
RailsRoad

Enter this on the command line.

RForum is using Rails migrations to create the database.
Hmmm,
When I ran this command:
RAILS_ENV=production rake migrate
I received the following error:
syntax error on line 9, col 2: ` database: rforum’
I looked at the rakefile.rb line 9:
require File.dirname(FILE) + ‘/config/environment’
Which looks to me like it’s requiring environment.rb
However, when I looked at that file, it wasn’t clear what may be causing
the error. I did see line 5:
Uncomment below to force Rails into production mode
(Use only when you can’t set environment variables through your
web/app server)
ENV[‘RAILS_ENV’] = ‘production’
I didn’t think it would be appropriate to uncomment this.

This seems to mean an error in the database.yaml file. If you made
changes to it, could you post the whole content of the file?
