adapter: mysql (ArgumentError)

I was up late working on a project and I kept running into this error after I tried to deploy to my staging server. It turns out you can’t use tabs in a YAML file. Oops..after I removed the tabs and used spaces my app started successfully.

/usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/yaml.rb:133:in `load': syntax error on line 18, col 3: `   adapter: mysql' (ArgumentError)
