Forum: Ferret uninitialized constant ActsAsFerret (NameError)

Hi all,
 I have another problem that I fight with for some time and I could not
understand where is the problem. Probably the problem is that I am quite
"green" in RR :)
 I am trying to make the Demo Application that comes with Ferret to work
but I guess something with my environment is not OK.
 I will do apreciate any help.

[root@moonlight FerretDemo]# ./script/server
=> Booting Mongrel (use 'script/server webrick' to force WEBrick)
=> Rails 2.2.2 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000

Dimitar, it appears you added Acts_as_ferret to your environment.rb
file.  you shouldn't need that if you are using the latest version.

The gem/plugin does that kind of magic for you.

get rid of it and see if it works.

Did you actually install the plugin to vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret ?
The demo app doesn't run out of the box. I used to use svn:externals
for this but since the move to git this step is necessary.

Cheers,
Jens

 Hi,
  Yes, this was the problem. I have forgotten to install the plugin to 
the demo application.
  Do appreciate your help.

P.S Actually the application manage to start, but does not work ... for 
now :)
