This is my database.yml file 

development:
  adapter: mysql
  encoding: utf8
  reconnect: false
  database: sharebox_development
  pool: 5
  username: root
  password:
  host: localhost

Ive reinstalled ruby, rails and mysql but still getting the same error any help would be appreciated. Cheers

You should precise your version of rake in your GemFile.

Rake 0.9 just got out but break Rails.

here's the tweet of dhh:

Rake 0.9,released yesterday, broke Rails (and others). While we wait for a fix, you'll want gem 'rake', '0.8.7' in your Gemfile.

Try that?

EDIT: Also, see that post if you REALLY need Rake 0.9 rather than Rake 0.8.7. Maybe that kind of fix would work for you.
