'rake db:create -> stack level too deep, couldn't create database, please check your configuration

I have an old app dating all the way back to Rails 2. We are currently upgrading it.

The database is refusing to create with the settings below. What could be going on?

When I run rake db:create:

Calling `DidYouMean::SPELL_CHECKERS.merge!(error_name => spell_checker)' has been deprecated. Please call `DidYouMean.correct_error(error_name, spell_checker)' instead.
