Syntax Error trying to do a fresh install of Redmine 2.0.3

Added by Paul Harrison about 12 years ago

Greetings;

I'm trying to install Redmine 2.0.3 Following the instructions here:
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall

I'm using MySQL. All goes well until I get to this:
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

At this point I get this error:
root@mte [/home/foobar/redmine-2.0.3]# RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate --trace
  • Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
  • Invoke environment (first_time)
  • Execute environment
    rake aborted!

Following the instructions: 'How to request help' is helping to define my problem. I tried this suggestion: RAILS_ENV=YOUR_ENVIRONMENT script/about and got a similar, but hopefully more detailed error:
/opt/ruby19/lib/ruby/1.9.1/psych.rb:203:in `parse': (<unknown>): could not find expected ':' while scanning a simple key at line 10 column 3 (Psych::SyntaxError)

I don't know if this is relevant, but I had an issue installing rmagick, because my centos version of ImageMagick was only 6.2.8. I had it upgraded to ImageMagick 6.7.3-2 2011-11-02 Q16.

Could this be a psych or ImageMagick issue?

Thanks in advance!

I found the answer. It was a simple syntax error. I failed to put a space between password: and my_password. So it threw the same error for both the rake command, and script/about command. I Googled "could not find expected ':' while scanning a simple key at line 10 column 3" and found a lots of comments here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4980877/rails-error-couldnt-parse-yaml

Moral of the story: Make sure what you (I) did is correct, then check the code. Hope this helps someone else!
