I had it last night for a bit, it was a bad database.yml setting.
Can you get in with psql?

The following database.yml: 

production:
  adapter: postgresql
  database: dbname
  host: db.server
  username: dbuser
  password: dbpass


maps to 

psql -U dbuser -h db.server dbname
<enter dbpass when prompted>

If you can't see your tables (type \dt once you're in psql), create them.
