Rails - Apr 2005 - Problems with Rails+Postgres+WebBrick

I just installed Rails for testing on a machine and have been having
problems following a tutorial online.  The tutorial is at
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/show/Tutorial and I am running this
on:

    Fedora 3
    Ruby 1.8.2-1
    PostgreSQL 7.4.7-3
    ruby-postgres-20050412

The only difference I made while following the tutorial was to use
names, but those names were consistently used in all the same places. 
When I load my test page I get the following error:

    NoMethodError in Search#home

    undefined method `find'' for WEBrick::Log:Class

    app/controllers/search_controller.rb:31:in `home''
    script/server:48

In app/controllers/search_controller.rb:31 I have:

(30)    def home
(31)        @log = Log.find(1)
(32)    end

I haven''t been able to find anything showing if .find was removed or
if the PostgreSQL adapter requires something else.

Does anyone know if this is right?  If the tutorial is out of date, is
there an updated tutorial somewhere?

Thanks for any help.

You have named your model class with the same name as used by WEBrick''s
Log''ing class. Ruby is trying to figure out which object you are
referencing
and must find WEBrick::Log before your ActiveRecord class by the same name. 
Try making line (31):

@log = ActiveRecord::Base::Log.find(1)

Thanks, I don''t know why I hadn''t considered that...  I
renamed
everything and that error is gone...now I just have a PostgreSQL
connection error.

Is there anything special I need to do for Rails to access the
database?  Besides having the correct information in the
config/database.yml file.  The connection information is the same that
I am actively useing elsewhere.

I can access PostgreSQL with "psql -d seclog_development" and through
Apache with mod_python.  When I use Rails I get the same generic
PostgreSQL error message when unable to connect, ''Is the server
running on host "localhost" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port
5432?''

Both of which are ''yes''.  Do I need to explicitly call a
connection
method in one of the files?

You have a namespace clash.
Rename your model to something else - otherwise it conflicts with 
WeBRICK logger.
