undefined local variable or method `config' for main:Object (NameError)

I'm writing a rails app and I'm trying to use Devise. Following the setup instructions here, I am trying to do rails generate devise:install, but I keep getting this error:

~/projects/readone/config/application.rb:8:in `<top (required)>': undefined local variable or method `config' for main:Object (NameError)

I tried different things like uninstalling, reinstalling the gem, etc. I also found some similar errors on Google and elsewhere on Stack Overflow, but none of them had to do specifically with this undefined local variable or method `config' error.

I'll include the full error below. Any idea what might be happening?

Found the issue: I had a line in my config that said config.force_ssl = true. Commented it out and it worked! Considered deleting my question, but thought that maybe someone else might run into this sometime. –
