What could cause this error:

Application errorRails application failed to start properly"

When I load a controller in a browser?

I have created the controller, model, and view; created the database  
table,  
updated database.yml.

Thanks,  
Chris

Look in your logs (either rails or apache or whatever webserver you  
have). If you can’t find out what’s the problem then, you’d ask  
rails-talk [1] google group, as there are more rails people  
(obviously)

HTH,
