Hello,
I have this problem that my rails application works fine in development
environment on my local Linux and windows system but when I uploaded it
to work on the server in production environment I have this problem as
listed in the pasted log file at the end of this entry:
NoMethodError (undefined method []' for nil:NilClass): /app/controllers/admin_controller.rb:201:inupdate’
the support team could not crack this one. I would think that the method
“update_attributes” would just work. if I enter a new entry to the data
base “mysql” it works fine and also the sort works fine in updating the
data base.
I have attached the controller file. all the functions work except for
the update one and only when it is running on the hosting server under
production environment.
I do not understand why it says in the log file nilclass when the return
@params is not nil.
Hope someone can help me on this one.
