Hi. I’m a newbie at this, so please bear with me.

I have several classes which model several corresponding tables. All of  
them seem to work except one. I have not made many modifications from  
the scaffold templates. However, with one class, Log, all methods give  
me the following type of error

NoMethodError in LogController#create  
undefined method `save’ for #WEBrick::Log:0x3b0cfb8

NoMethodError in LogController#list  
undefined method `find\_all’ for WEBrick::Log:Class

This is my entire Log class

class Log \< ActiveRecord::Base  
belongs\_to :batch  
has\_many :links  
end

Please help! Thank you in advance.

I just realized my typo on the subject. I meant ActiveRecord, but I  
assure you it is not misspelled in my code!

I think u should give another name to your model. It seems that Log is  
already taken. Try that for a change.

Thank you! Grazie! Thank you!

I feel a bit foolish for struggling with something so simple!

Now it works beautifully.
