[Rails] Re: Cannot rake migrate on OS X After New Install, Tons of D

[Dan Shafer]

Well, I finally got things working with Locomotive using SQLite. Now  
that we've gone through a process that stretched over most of a week,  
I think what we've discovered is that the culprit was the presence of  
tabs rather than multi-space indents in the database.yml file. This  
in turn was caused by the default setting in TextMate at some point.  
At least that's our operating theory.

For now, I'm going to consider my setup stable and finish prep for  
the studio. Maybe while i'm there, I'll find someone who can help me  
confirm the source of this problem and get Rails working outside  
Locomotive once and for all. Not that I don't like Locomotive; I do.  
It's just that several people told me I could encounter "issues" in  
working with Locomotive that don't come up with stanards Rail  
installations.

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions, folks.
