• Browser + version: none

Expected behavior:

Actual behavior:

• error message on ‘rake’ command

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• went through all steps on the installation manual. But the first rake db:create command throws an error:

zammad@ZammadSRV1:~/$ rake db:create

Hi @Sebastian_A

it’s a rails issue. You have not the the RAILS_ENV so rails want’s to use the development environment. For that environment a configured database need to exist in config/database.yml.

In you case there is no database configured for development environment in config/database.yml.

I really recommend you to your the Zammad package installation (it’s much easier and you do not need to install ruby/rails dependencies) or in case you really need source installations - try to create an rails example app to get familiar with the rails it self.

Greetings,
