Answer: 
It's now `database` in YML, not `dbfile` anymore. Try with the following yml in `database.yml`:

```
development:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/test.db

```

Here is a the guide to configure the database on [rubyonrails.org](http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html#configuring-a-database).
The first answer is the correct one. If you are scraping your code and need a test start off doing something like this.

```
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# Hyra Power
# 11/24/15

require 'active_record'

# ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDERR)
# ActiveRecord::Base.colorize_logging = false

ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
    :adapter => "sqlite3",
    :database  => ":memory:"
)

ActiveRecord::Schema.define do

    create_table :pages do |table|
        table.column :url, :string, :null => false
        table.column :title, :string
        table.column :content_type, :string
        table.column :last_modified, :datetime
        table.column :error, :string
    end

    create_table :links do |table|
        table.column :from_page_id, :integer, :null => false
        table.column :to_page_id, :integer, :null => false
        table.column :count, :integer

    end

end

class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
    has_many :links
end

class Link < ActiveRecord::Base
    belongs_to :page
end

```

Test this script and then move on from there. Hope this helps anyone new.
