I got the following traces while executing the command 'rake db:default_data'

==
** Invoke db:default_data (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
** Execute db:default_data
rake aborted!
getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

It seems that the rake task is not able identify your custom script. Please give a a try after storing the contents of 'db:default_data' inside your 'Rakefile'.  

Rahul,

Thanks for the response, but I'm still a little confused.  I have the db:default_data in /lib/tasks/sys_config.rake.  The Rakefile states that if you put a *.rake file in lib/tasks, it will be automatically included.  Also, if I run

rake -T

the db:default_data shows up in the list.  

I guess I'm a little confused about what you mean by

"stor[e] the contents of 'db:default_data' inside your 'Rakefile'"

Do you mean that I need to copy the contents of my sys_config.rake file into the Rakefile?

Thanks,

Chris

Yes, try copying the contents of sys_config.rake into the Rakefile. See what outcome that has. We can go from there.

So I did that and get the same results.  I'm guessing that I did it correctly (I'm still n00bing my way through custom rake tasks).

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Can you provide the full error dump? Would help to see what line is doing this.

Here it is:

# rake db:default_data --trace

Have you set your ActionMailer smtp settings? If so, what are you setting them to?
