This i guess is a simple case of there not being a database configured. Create a database first using: rake db:create:all

What is the params hash that is sent from the form (or the form input names) ? The issue might be related of Rails's inability to parse a mixed array-hash values. PS I don't find the question obnoxious, aside the huge paste (arguable somewhat necessary)

Me sure you don't send in the request a mixed array hash value as rails will complain, ie.:

user[][name] => joe              # array-ish
user[:key][name] => alice        # hash-ish

both in the same request.
