Rails Error: Unable to access log file. Please ensure that /home…/log/development.log exists and is chmod 0666

Question

Im trying to migrate a db2 database to Ruby on Rails, but just when I run rails g scaffold, I get this:

Rails Error: Unable to acces

Answer 1

Maybe just do what it asks you to do?:

$ touch the_required_path/development.log
$ chmod 0666  the_required_path/development.log

Answer 2
