Have you looked in the log file (log/development.log assuming you are
running in development mode), there may well be more information
there. I think I have already suggested that but you have not said
what you found. Also look in the window where you started the server
running (presumably you did start the server though you did not
mention this), there may be more there.

My best guess is that you have not setup the database correctly in
database.yml. That should be clear from the log however.

Also please do not top post, insert your reply into the previous
message. Thanks
