Hey, I'm getting to the point in the video where you are supposed to use the "rake db:migrate" command to create the users table, but I get this message:
-- create_table(:statuses) rake aborted! An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:
SQLite3::SQLException: table "statuses" already exists: CREATE TABLE "statuses"
("id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, "name" varchar(255), "content"
text, "created_at" datetime NOT NULL, "updated_at" datetime NOT NULL)
C:/Sites/Projects/treebook/db/migrate/20120718214245_create_statuses.rb:3:in ch
ange'
C:in
migrate'
Tasks: TOP => db:migrate
Any thoughts? I went through the video a few times and I can't find where I deviated. The video said the command was to create the users table but I notice that the message keeps mentioning the statuses table.

9,501 PointsI think I got it, I removed the "create statuses" file from the migrate folder and it made the sign up page when I used the rake command. Still slightly off from the example; it may have to do with me using the project files instead of my own.

I had the same error as stated and I didn't understand the example so I followed this guide: http://dashdingo.org/post/1627307077/sqlite3-sqlexception-table-already-exists
Now I cannot access the new status page at all, please help.

rake db:reset
rake db:create:all

Dennis Hegstad
Courses Plus Student 2,243 PointsI'm having the same issue on this step. Once I tried running both commands:
rake db:reset rake db:create:all
I got this error:
You have 1 pending migrations:
20130826192456 AddDeviseToUsers
Run rake db:migrate
to update your database then try again.
unknown68a86d404924:treebook dennishegstad$ rake db:create:all
db/development.sqlite3 already exists
db/test.sqlite3 already exists
db/production.sqlite3 already exists
Any help would be great! :D

Jason Seifer
Treehouse Guest TeacherTry running:
rake db:migrate

Dennis Hegstad
Courses Plus Student 2,243 Pointsi've tried that multiple times and end up with this error:
rake aborted! An error has occurred, this and all later migrations canceled:
SQLite3::SQLException: table "users" already exists: CREATE TABLE "users" ("id" INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL, "email" varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, "encrypted_password" varchar(255) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL, "reset_password_token" varchar(255), "reset_password_sent_at" datetime, "remember_created_at" datetime, "sign_in_count" integer DEFAULT 0, "current_sign_in_at" datetime, "last_sign_in_at" datetime, "current_sign_in_ip" varchar(255), "last_sign_in_ip" varchar(255)) /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p392/gems/sqlite3-1.3.8/lib/sqlite3/database.rb:91:in `initialize'

Jason Seifer
Treehouse Guest TeacherDo you have two migrations that say "create_users" in the file name somewhere? That's probably happening in this case. If so, delete one and try again.

Dennis Hegstad
Courses Plus Student 2,243 PointsYup! I figured out the solution a few days ago and have progressed a lot further. Thanks so much.
