rake db:create:all error : can't convert nil to String

I'm getting a can't convert nil to String error when trying to rake db:create:all my postgresql database.

When I run rake db:create:all I get

"You have already activated rake 0.9.2.2, but your Gemfile requires rake 0.9.2. Using bundle exec may solve this."

When I run bundle exec rake db:create:all --trace I get

Double check your database.yaml file to make sure that all of the values are there
