rails on windows: No Rakefile found error - ruby-on-rails

despite advice to the contrary, I am attempting to run rails on windows.
When I try the rake command
C:\Ruby193\lib\ruby\gems\1.9.1>rake
I get
rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb,
Rakefile.rb)
I am simply following a tutorial I found on the web.

You need to run Rake from within the same folder as a Rakefile, as the error indicates

rake db:create showing error on rake db:create

I am trying to connect to mysql and using command rake db:create
. It is showing me error
rake aborted! No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb) /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/rake-11.3.0/exe/rake:27:in `<top (required)>' (See full trace by running task with --trace)
I also tried rake db:migrate as well but same error.
It looks like your missing a rake file. Add this code in a file called Rakefile at the root of your app.
Edit: Replace YourApp by the name of your app
require File.expand_path('../config/application', __FILE__)
YourApp::Application.load_tasks

rake time:zones:all not listing anything on Terminal

I'm on Terminal trying to use rake time:zones:all to list all Time Zones and I get the following error message:
rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
Help is appreciated for obtaining a list of all Time Zones. Thanks
I think you are just outside of your application's root directory. Make sure you are running the command from the right place:
cd
cd path/to/your/app

Rake commands aborted / Ruby Rails

I'm pretty sure I should be posting this here, but feel free to correct me if this belongs on something like Superuser.
Trying to setup this Ruby/Javascript app https://github.com/jamesu/tubehub - on my freshly formatted Linode.
Running: Ubuntu v10.04 LTS, Ruby v1.8.8dev, Rails v3.2.9, SQLite v3.6.22.
I appear to be close to successfully installing and launching this app after much troubleshooting, but the last bit I can't figure out yet is the "aborted" errors I get when running the rake commands, as shown in the README documentation.
root#li570-120:~/tubehub# rake db:seed
rake aborted!
/root/tubehub/util.rb:8: undefined (?...) sequence: /^(.*?)((?<!&)#|\#)(.*)$/

root#li570-120:~# rake db:load

This is my first foray into Ruby specifically, filtered through some "rake" docs but wasn't sure what I was looking at.
Any suggestions?
I'll add an answer.
Please use rake db:schema:load instead
As per Anatoliy Kukul's suggestion - "rake db:schema:load" got everything working correctly, and loaded all of the tables needed into the local database.
worked a treat - thanks for the clarification!

rake db:create - rake aborted - no rakefile found

So, the title is quite self explanatory, but here's the following ..
rake db:create
rake aborted!
No rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)
Any help would be appreciated.
What is your current working directory when calling the rake db:create command? Are you in the root of the Rails app?
You have to be in the root of the Rails app that you are creating.
Currently you must be one step up.
Case I:
Check out your directory. If you are in same directory where your application is available then you wont' get is this message. You are getting this message because you are out of your application directory. To check you present directory you can use this command
pwd
Case II
You might missing your Rakefile. Check it out in your directory. For example,
$ ls
app/
bin/
config/
db/
...
If you don't find Rakefile then create new one. Puts this code
# Add your own tasks in files placed in lib/tasks ending in .rake,
# for example lib/tasks/capistrano.rake, and they will automatically be available to Rake.
require File.expand_path('../config/application', __FILE__)
Blog::Application.load_tasks

Ruby on rails: Rake Migrate Help

I'm trying to do a rake migrate, but I'm getting an error when I do this:
rake db:migrate
What I get back:
rake aborted!
No Rakefile found (looking for: rakefile, Rakefile, rakefile.rb, Rakefile.rb)
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake.rb:2377:in `raw_load_rakefile'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)
How do I fix this? Thanks.
are you in the root directory of your project?
is there a file called Rakefile?
Make sure the current directory is within your project.
So for example:
cd ~/projects/greatness/
rake db:migrate
The error message seems rather self explanatory. There is no rakefile for rake to operate on.
If your rails structure is broken in some way, I'd suggest calling rails in a temporary folder then bringing across the script directory and rake file.
