it would be a good idea to post the controller method update and the
class Model.

But how can I fix that error message? Database information is updating
properly but page is redirecting to HTTP 500 Internal server error page
and I am unable to fix this error. Please help me how can i fix it. I am
using code below to be updating model entry… and same code works
properly for other modules.

PUT /models/1

PUT /models/1.xml

def update
@model = Model.find(params[:id], :include=>:user)

respond_to do |format|
  if @model.update_attributes(params[:model])
    @model.user.roles.clear

@model.user.roles << Role.find_or_create_by_name(“model”)
#flash[:notice] = “Model was successfully updated.”
#format.html { redirect_to([:admin, @model]) }
#format.xml { head :ok }
else
format.html { render :action => “edit” }
format.xml { render :xml => @model.errors, :status =>
:unprocessable_entity }
end
end
end

in this branch you’re not telling rails what to do - you’ve commented
out all your format.bla calls

When running database queries from form input, I usually change params
[foo][id] to an integer. Everything passed with the request object is
of type “string” and will return a nil object in Ruby.

Model.find(params[foo][id].to_i)
