please type rake db:migrate --trace and put its output here. — Paritosh Singh, Sep 18 '12 at 18:06
if you remove that gem from your gem file and do bundle install and then do rake db:migrate, is it working. — Paritosh Singh, Sep 19 '12 at 06:58
which db are you using, have you included that in your gemfile? — Paritosh Singh, Sep 19 '12 at 09:52
Yes. I am using MySQL i have included that gem and it was working fine before. — Amal Kumar S, Sep 19 '12 at 10:57

For using the rake task specified in the gem, I have added the below code in my application controller. This was causing the issue. When I removed it, its working fine.

require 'rake'
Rake::Task.clear
MyAPP::Application.load_tasks
