I trying to deploy my rails 4 application on my ubuntu server, if I run the rake db:migrate command I getting this error

rake aborted!
ArgumentError: invalid byte sequence in UTF-8

My environment:

Rails 4.1.6 ruby 2.1.2p95 (2014-05-08 revision 45877) [x86_64-linux]

here the trace

Any ideas?

On my local machine everything works fine...

  • Maybe setting the UTF-locale like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17031651/invalid-byte-sequence-in-us-ascii-argument-error-when-i-run-rake-dbseed-in-ra ? – trueinViso Nov 18 '14 at 01:32

What's the data store being used here out of curiosity? Is it possible to just destroy the database and start fresh by chance? If so, you can do that with:

rake db:drop db:create db:migrate
