Cannot run rake db:migrate, relation does not exist

I am trying to get a working app to work on linux 10.04 running on vagrant I installed all relevant gems, installed postgresql 9.1.9 and when I am trying to run `rake db:migrate` I am getting ``` rake aborted!

don't know if it matters or not, but I am using devise 2.2.4 and latest acts_as_messageable. note that this app does work on a windows development machine and production in heroku.. I just want to make it run on vagrant as well.. my database.yml is ``` common: &common adapter: postgresql enconding: utf8 host: localhost username: postgres password: 1234 pool: 5 timeout: 5000 development: <<: *common database: myapp_dev port: 5432 test: <<: *common database: myapp_test production: <<: *common database: myapp_prod ``` I suspect it has to do with some postgres configuration, but I am not sure.. Couldn't find any solution to this yet When checking psql I get this ``` postgres=# \l List of databases Name | Owner | Encoding | Collate | Ctype | Access privileges -------------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+----------------------- postgres | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | template0 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =c/postgres + | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres template1 | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | =c/postgres + | | | | | postgres=CTc/postgres myapp_dev | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | myapp_prod | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | myapp_test | postgres | UTF8 | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 | (6 rows) postgres=# \d myapp_dev Did not find any relation named "myapp_dev". ``` so something is wrong here I think.. is there a solution? Note - this happens with `rake db` tasks such as `schema:load`, `setup`.. In case this is needed - here are the relevant lines from the error relating to acts_as_messageable, including the migration file user: line 120-123 ``` acts_as_messageable :table_name => "messages", :required => :body, :class_name => "Message", :dependent => :destroy ``` Message class (line 25-29) ``` class Message < ActsAsMessageable::Message attr_accessible :sender_open, :reciever_open scope :unread_by, lambda{ |user| where("reciever_open = false AND received_messageable_id = ?", user.id)} scope :unread, where('reciever_open = false') ``` the migration file - 20121127082447_create_messages_table.rb (its not first or last, somewhere in the middle) ``` class CreateMessagesTable < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :messages do |t| t.string :topic t.text :body t.references :received_messageable, :polymorphic => true t.references :sent_messageable, :polymorphic => true t.boolean :opened, :default => false t.boolean :recipient_delete, :default => false t.boolean :sender_delete, :default => false t.timestamps # ancestry t.string :ancestry end add_index :messages, [:sent_messageable_id, :received_messageable_id], :name => "acts_as_messageable_ids" add_index :messages, :ancestry end def self.down drop_table :messages end end ```
