[Rails] NameError in AdminController#index building scaffold

I''m a pretty big newbie with ROR, but when following a tutorial I 
encounter an ugly error when building a scaffold.  Here is my 
environment

Dev system:
- Windows XP
- java version "1.5.0_06"
- MySQL java version "1.5.0_06"
- Ruby 1.8.4
- Ruby Gems 0.9.0
- Gem install mysql
   Successfully installed mysql-2.7.1-mswin32
   Installing ri documentation for mysql-2.7.1-mswin32...
   Installing RDoc documentation for mysql-2.7.1-mswin32...
- Table in ediweb database
mysql> desc users;
+----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field          | Type        | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| user_id        | int(11)     | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| user_login     | varchar(50) | NO   |     |         |                |
| user_firstname | varchar(50) | NO   |     |         |                |
| user_lastname  | varchar(50) | NO   |     |         |                |
| user_role      | varchar(50) | NO   |     |         |                |
+----------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
5 rows in set (0.18 sec)

I am also connecting to Subversion on a linux system as my Repo.

When I start my server I am able to view several other controllers.  I 
stop my server and create a scaffold in RadRails.

ediweb> ruby script/generate scaffold Users Admin
      exists  app/controllers/
      exists  app/helpers/
      exists  app/views/admin
      exists  test/functional/
  dependency  model
      exists    app/models/
      exists    test/unit/
      exists    test/fixtures/
      create    app/models/users.rb
      create    test/unit/users_test.rb
      create    test/fixtures/users.yml
   identical  app/views/admin/_form.rhtml
      create  app/views/admin/list.rhtml
      create  app/views/admin/show.rhtml
      create  app/views/admin/new.rhtml
      create  app/views/admin/edit.rhtml
      create  app/controllers/admin_controller.rb
      create  test/functional/admin_controller_test.rb
      create  app/helpers/admin_helper.rb
      create  app/views/layouts/admin.rhtml
      create  public/stylesheets/scaffold.css

Looks like no problem, but then I check the page:

 NameError in AdminController#index

Response
Headers: {"cookie"=>[],
"Cache-Control"=>"no-cache"}

I have tried building the scaffold with users and admin instead of Users 
and Admin, but it''s still not working!  Also, I verified MySQL 
connectivity from ruby server to the database by doing the following:


ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all(''desc users'')
=> [{"Extra"=>"auto_increment",
"Default"=>nil, "Null"=>"NO",
"Type"=>"int(11)",
"Field"=>"user_id", "Key"=>"PRI"},
{"Extra"=>"",
"Default"=>"", "Null"=>"NO",
"Type"=>"varchar(50)",
"Field"=>"user_login", "Key"=>""},
{"Extra"=>"", "Default"=>"",
"Null"=>"NO",
"Type"=>"varchar(50)",
"Field"=>"user_firstname",
"Key"=>""}, {"Extra"=>"",
"Default"=>"", "Null"=>"NO",
"Type"=>"varchar(50)",
"Field"=>"user_lastname",
"Key"=>""},
{"Extra"=>"", "Default"=>"",
"Null"=>"NO",
"Type"=>"varchar(50)",
"Field"=>"user_role", "Key"=>""}]
>> ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all(''select * from
users'')ActiveRecord::Base.connection.select_all(''select * from
users'')
=> []

My question is I do have one record in the table but the ''select
*''
query doesn''t come back with nothing.  Any help would be appreciated!
:)

Thanks
James

[Rails] Re: NameError in AdminController#index building scaffold

One more note, I didn''t have any records in the database!  When I 
inserted some I am still able to connect through the development console 
-- but still gettig the same error from the http://localhost:3000/admin 
--- any ideas?

=> [{"user_login"=>"jsmith",

[Rails] Re: NameError in AdminController#index building scaffold

I was able to solve my own problem.  I generated the scaffold using 
''ruby script/generate scaffold user Admin''

ediweb> ruby script/generate scaffold user Admin
      exists  app/controllers/
      exists  app/helpers/
      exists  app/views/admin
      exists  test/functional/
  dependency  model
      exists    app/models/
      exists    test/unit/
      exists    test/fixtures/
      create    app/models/user.rb
      create    test/unit/user_test.rb
      create    test/fixtures/users.yml
      create  app/views/admin/_form.rhtml
      create  app/views/admin/list.rhtml
      create  app/views/admin/show.rhtml
      create  app/views/admin/new.rhtml
      create  app/views/admin/edit.rhtml
      create  app/controllers/admin_controller.rb
      create  test/functional/admin_controller_test.rb
      create  app/helpers/admin_helper.rb
      create  app/views/layouts/admin.rhtml
      create  public/stylesheets/scaffold.css


How did ruby know that my database table was ''users'' when I
generated
the scaffold as ''user''?  I''m sorry if this is a dumb
question :)

[Rails] Re: NameError in AdminController#index building scaffold

Unless you change it, it always looks for the plural form of the  
model as the table.. so a "person" model would have a
"people" table,
"cat" model would have "cats" table, etc.  This is pretty
basic and
covered in "Agile Web Development in Rails" as well as a lot of  
online tutorials.

[Rails] Re: Re: NameError in AdminController#index building scaffold

I figured it out -- I had to remove the mysql gem.

gem uninstall mysql

Everything worked after that!
