I’ve been racking my brain on configurations of Ruby, Rails, and  
Streamlined or Active Scaffold.

It always seems that upon starting my web server, I receive error  
messages which keeps my web server from starting properly.

Would someone be so kind as to explain configurations / setups that  
have worked for you?

Which:  
Ruby Version  
Rails Version  
Gems Version  
Streamlined or Active Scaffold Version

If you also have any tips on how you installed each component, that  
would be greatly appreciated.

Environment:  
OS: Windows Vista \<\< Ya … I know. Time to get a Mac … lol  
Database: MySQL

This is what I’ve tried:  
Ruby Version: 1.8.6  
Rails Version: 2.1.0, 2.0.2, and 1.2.3  
Streamlined Version: 1.0 RC3 and 1.0 RC1  
Active Scaffold Version: 1.1.1

Much thanks in advance.

Well,

I re-installed everything, and was able to get Streamlined working  
with:

Ruby: 1.8.6  
Rails: 2.0.2  
Streamlined: Latest version obtained from :  
[http://svn.streamlinedframework.org/edge/streamlined](http://svn.streamlinedframework.org/edge/streamlined)

However, with the same configuration, with Active Scaffold, I tried to  
obtain the plug-in from:  
/script/plugin install  
[http://activescaffold.googlecode.com/svn/tags/active\_scaffold](http://activescaffold.googlecode.com/svn/tags/active_scaffold)

… and I receive the following error message:

NoMethodError in [ModelName]Controller#index

undefined method `active\_scaffold’ for [ModelName]Controller:Class

> Replace [ModelName] with Books for instance

Thanks again for the reply!

Thanks for the reply!

I’m actually testing both plug-ins to see the flexibility of each.

Thanks again,

I don’t use active scaffold, but are you sure you don’t need to include  
it  
in your application?
