Rails - Apr 2006 - Model is not a class

I''m trying to specify a model in a controller, but rails gives me  
"Account is not a class", where Account is my model name ...

This is my model:

class Account < ActiveRecord::Base

   validates_presence_of :email, :email_confirmation,
     :username, :password, :password_confirmation
   validates_format_of :email,
     :with => /^([^@\s]+)@((?:[-a-z0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,})$/i
   validates_uniqueness_of :username
   validates_length_of :password, :within => 6..20
   validates_confirmation_of :email, :password

   def self.authenticate(username, password)
     find_first(["username=? AND password=?", username, password])
   end

end

and this is my controller:

class Account::AuthController < ApplicationController

   model :account

   .....

end

I guess the problem is that I''m using a module, my controller is  
inside controllers/account/auth_controller.rb.
I''m not able to find the mistake, my model is clearly a class ...
Ideas ?

TIA,
   ngw

Nicholas,

Ruby doesn''t let you have a class and a module with the same name,  
and having class Account::AuthController means that you have a module  
called Account containing a class called AuthController.

Convention seems to be that you should have plural module names and  
singular model names in this case; i.e. rename your  
Account::AuthController to Accounts::AuthController. (Personally that  
seems a little dodgy to me, but it seems to be commonly done, and it  
works.)

Cheers,
