Big problem I cant figure this out.

[EasyMarketer]

Im going to do a walk through of my problem. It involves the scaffolding.

I was trying to scaffold the basic part of a forum im going to show you exactly what i did.

I started by opening cmd and typing: rails forums

It created the first part.


I then, created the database's
Had no problem doing this.

The database.yml file is perfect as well this is the database tho.

CREATE TABLE `forums` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `title` varchar(255) collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL default '',
  `description` text collate latin1_general_ci NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
)  ; 

After "Everything" was done. this is where it runs into problems

I ran scaffold i typed:
ruby script/generate scaffold forums
it created the controllers and everything.
I then went to routes.rb and edited it

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  # The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.
  
  # Sample of regular route:
  # map.connect 'products/:id', :controller => 'catalog', :action => 'view'
  # Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller and :action

  # Sample of named route:
  # map.purchase 'products/:id/purchase', :controller => 'catalog', :action => 'purchase'
  # This route can be invoked with purchase_url(:id => product.id)

  # You can have the root of your site routed by hooking up '' 
  # -- just remember to delete public/index.html.
   map.connect '', :controller => "forums"

  # Allow downloading Web Service WSDL as a file with an extension
  # instead of a file named 'wsdl'
  map.connect ':controller/service.wsdl', :action => 'wsdl'

  # Install the default route as the lowest priority.
  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'
end 

I deleted the index in the public html.

I then ran: ruby script/server

It then gave this error

and i gave this to the IRC channel for Rails. They couldnt even help me I posted my forums_controller.rb
here is it:

class ForumsController < ApplicationController
  def index
    list
    render :action => 'list'
  end

  # GETs should be safe (see [url]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/whenToUseGet.html[/url])
  verify :method => :post, :only => [ :destroy, :create, :update ],
         :redirect_to => { :action => :list }

  def list
    @forums_pages, @forums = paginate :forums, :per_page => 10
  end

  def show
    @forums = Forums.find(params[:id])
  end

  def new
    @forums = Forums.new
  end

  def create
    @forums = Forums.new(params[:forums])
    if @forums.save
      flash[:notice] = 'Forums was successfully created.'
      redirect_to :action => 'list'
    else
      render :action => 'new'
    end
  end

  def edit
    @forums = Forums.find(params[:id])
  end

  def update
    @forums = Forums.find(params[:id])
    if @forums.update_attributes(params[:forums])
      flash[:notice] = 'Forums was successfully updated.'
      redirect_to :action => 'show', :id => @forums
    else
      render :action => 'edit'
    end
  end

  def destroy
    Forums.find(params[:id]).destroy
    redirect_to :action => 'list'
  end
end 

Then they asked me to post the forums.rb so here it is.
forums.rb

class Forums < ActiveRecord::Base
end 

What is Wrong guys? I get that error everytime. i do something.

[pjleonhardt]

It is looking for Forum , not Forums.
The class name should be singular while the database name should be pluralized.

Try it with forum.rb and forum_controller.rb
with
class Forum < ActiveRecord::Base
and
class ForumController < ApplicationController

then change the references of Forums to Forum

that is my best guess.

Now im having difficulties inside of the localhost/forum/new
localhost/forum works now but cant get the other part to work i keep messing with it and no luck.
