You have something missing or wrong in routes.rb. I am not into Rails 3 routing yet so not sure what. Have a look at the Rails Guide on routing at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ > > To overcome this, ive just used a string. i.e. <%= link_to "Login", > "/UserSessions/new" %> > > Now it seems like i've reached an impasse.

Can you please help me? > Thanks :) Please find below the error message, and some of the code. > > undefined method `Login' for nil:NilClass The error is saying that you have tried to call Login on a nil object (of type NilClass, which is what nil is). The problem is therefore that @user is nil. Either you have forgotten to set it up or the code setting it has returned nil. Have you looked at the Rails Guide on debugging? Using ruby-debug you can break into your code and examine variables. Colin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
