I'm on Windows. Ruby v.1.9.3p392 / Rails v. 3.2.13 - This is the demo_app project from the 2nd chapter of Michael Hart's Ruby on Rails Tutorial.
This error comes up when I issue 'rails generate scaffold User name:string email:string' Any idea how to fix this?

ok, so someone else was able to find the solution to this problem and i'll share it here in case it comes up for someone else.
Apparently, the app I was creating was generating an old rails version even though my rails versions was set to a recent one. 3.2.13
Therefore my config/application.rb file was completely different than a rails 3.2.13 version. After the application.rb file was replaced. The errors were fixed.
To avoid this error, you can either use rvm or pik if you're a windows user to control your current version. You can specify your rails version when creating a new app 'rails 3.2.13 your_app', or uninstall all rails versions and just install the one you need:
gem uninstall rails -choose all versions
gem install rails --version '= 3.2.13'
