Im trying to set up a new scaffold with rails3, and mysql5.5. I got an error about couldn't parse YAML or something so I followed guidance on this question but now I get this error and I have no idea why.

Any help solving this would be appreciated.

have you read the error message? it looks like you are missing colon, coma or something like this in your database configuration file. it is near the line with "host: localhost"
