Script/Server working but Script/Console not working

Rails
1

Hi all,
I have been having a very weird problem for a few weeks. I am able to
start up the server using “script/server” for my application and run
it successfully but “script/console” is not working. I have been
managing without it but somethings not right and i need to fix it.
This is the error that it throws and the trace.
Loading development environment (Rails 2.1.0)

I also need the console for some quick debugging and info. Hope
someone can help me figure out what the problem is.

Might be something to do with app/controllers/application.rb.
Do you have it?
It will contain: class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base

@Daniel,
That was it!
I had changed the file name to application_controller.rb because some
helper methods were not available for the views and i thought the name
might’ve been the problem. And then i had fixed it by using
helper_method. Forgot to change the file name back to application.rb!
thanks Daniel :).
