Cannot load Rails app fetched from GitHub; rake, rails server not working

I cloned an app folder from a GitHub repository, and after bundle install the gems, I tried to use the rake db:reset and rake db:migrate commands, neither worked, and here is my error message:

>[app_folder]rake db:reset
rake aborted!

I get similar errors when I try to run rails server or rails console. Would really appreciate any help!! Thanks a lot!

Usually rails apps have config/database.yml.example, copy this file to config/database.yml and overwrite database connection settings if necessary.
