I m using ruby 1.8.7 on rails 2.3.5 with mysql 5.0 on windows.
C:\Ruby187\rails\accounts>rake db:create
(in C:/Ruby187/rails/accounts)
rake aborted!
syntax error on line 2, col 0: `encoding:utf8'

The following is the yml file i'm using

development:
adapter:mysql
encoding:utf8
reconnect:false
database:accounts_development
pool:5
username:
password:
host:localhost

There are no spaces in the file. Only one after password

In mysql i haven't set any password.(Though the default is root as whem
mysql console i open it asks for pwd and on entering root it opens).

Kindly suggest.

Premanshu

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).

hi,
Actually while installing mysql 5.0 it asks for password. Google for
how to set the password in mysql and in your database.yml file,
maintain single space between every field e.g. adapter: mysql,
encoding: utf8 and so on..... This might solve your problem.

hi,
you better reinstall mysql. While installing it will ask for password.
and default user name is "root"
