Ruby on rails: Rake Migrate Help

I'm trying to do a rake migrate, but I'm getting an error when I do this:

rake db:migrate

What I get back:

rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2377:in `raw_load_rakefile'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

How do I fix this? Thanks.

Make sure the current directory is within your project.

So for example:

cd ~/projects/greatness/
rake db:migrate

The error message seems rather self explanatory. There is no rakefile for rake to operate on.

If your rails structure is broken in some way, I'd suggest calling rails in a temporary folder then bringing across the script directory and rake file.

are you in the root directory of your project? is there a file called Rakefile?
