Errors after installing Devise

After I installed Devise, then tried to start the rails server, I get the following error. The top part refers to a secret_key which I see exists in config/initializers/devise.rb

I'm on Rails 4.0.2 and don't want to downgrade for the sake of this project.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Okay, so I cloned your repo and fooled around with it on my system. Here is what I did to make it work, it may or may not work for you.

From command line:

1)gem uninstall devise 2)gem install devise 3)bundle update 4)rails s

It worked.

Did you update your repository on Github after you installed devise? I checked your Gemfile and didn't see devise listed.
