ruby on rails rake db:migrate error

Question

hi , i'm starting to learn ruby on rails using this guide : getting_started , i created my project and database but when i run rake db:migrate i get this error:

@mona-Extensa-5230:~/rubyDev/Sites/blog# rake db:migrate
(in /home/mona/rubyDev/Sites/blog)
== CreatePosts: migrating ==================================================== -- create_table(:posts)
rake aborted!
An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:

thanks.

Answer 1

Looks like you have a line like this in one of your migrations:

t.String

Note that the "s" needs to be in lowercase (t.string)
