cPanel RoR with mySQL database

Rails
1

Hi,

I have just started using Ruby on Rails with cPanel. I can set up my
application ok but I am having problems with linking the application
with a mysql database.

I have run ruby sctipt/generate model and created the table through the
migration. The table appears in the database correctly.

The original settings were for sqlite3 but I want to use mysql so that
may be the issue.

I have changed the database.yml file matching with the correct db
information;
development:
adapter: mysql
database: [hidden]
username: [hidden]
password: [hidden]
host: localhost
socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

I want to access a table from the db.

In the team controller I do this (i have a table called teams);

@team = Team.find(:all)

and in the views do this;

<% for player in @team %>
<%= player.id %>
<% end %>

but I get this error;

NoMethodError in Team#index

Showing team/index.html.erb where line #4 raised:

You have a nil object when you didn’t expect it!
You might have expected an instance of Array.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.each

Extracted source (around line #4):

try executing following

seems like your table is empty

try follwoing
open command window… goto your project directory… run console…
./script/console
they try Team.find(:all) and see if it returns anything… it will tell
you if there is any data in teams table.

let me know

Hi,

Yep the data is shown which I had entered into the table, through the
migration.

Hope you can help,

Thanks a lot!
