Your problem is a missmatch between the controller name and the view directory name. If you're going to use application_controller.rb then c:\ruby\hello\app \views\app\greeting.rhtml should be c:\ruby\hello\app\views \application\greeting.rhtml.
You can use scaffold to help get more familiar with what goes where. Try this: script/generate scaffold User name:string profile:text Now check for new files in app\controllers, app\views, app\models, and db\migrations Then run: rake db:migrate And restart your webserver and browse: http://localhost:3000/users Rick On Aug 19, 10:17 am, mgpowers <[email protected]> wrote: > I did look at the log file and even posted the error message in the > very first post.. > > see...below...Any ideas ? > > The error message is from development.log is... > # Logfile created on Tue Aug 18 16:49:55 -0400 2009/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ > Tue Aug 18 16:50:34 -0400 2009 > Status: 500 Internal Server Error > unknown error > > Status: 500 Internal Server Error > unknown error > > PS .
