I am a new user to RoR/ I have been working on RoR cookbook2 tutorial which could be found at [http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/tutorial/index.html](http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/tutorial/index.html). As I have been going through different stages through trial and error, but now a stage has come that i m stuck and not able to proceed any further. when it comes to create a list.rhtml in recipe folder under views, and editing the code which is given in tutorial. Unfortunatley I am not able to make it work as I am getting the same error which is Missing template.script/…/config/…/app/views/recipe/list.rhtml I am not able to proceed an seeking for advice. Thanks Adnan ---

Hi Adnan, I can’t tell from your post exactly what difficulty you’re having. The error message below says you don’t have a list.rhtml file. Need more info to provide assistance. You can contact off-list if you prefer.

Hi Bill, I am not able to get your email address other wise would have meial u straight away. But anyway thanks for getting back to me. I am practicing the RoR tutorial cookbook2 [http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/tutorial/index.html](http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/tutorial/index.html) ,i have created the database cookbook2,created recipes,entered info in it and got to listing recipe,then i followed these instruction from the tutorial ,these are the notes from the stage where i get stuck, What Just Happened? A single line of code, scaffold :recipe, brought everything to life. It let us begin working with our data model. With virtually no work on our part, it created the actions list, show, edit, and delete. It also created default view templates for each of these actions. Of course, these actions and views are very plain–not the sort of thing you’d want users to see (unless they are total geeks). The good news is that we can leave the scaffolding in place and slowly, one at a time, provide our own versions of the actions and views. Each time you create one of the actions or views it will override the scaffold’s version. When you’re done, simply remove the scaffold statement from the controller. Before we do that, did you notice the URLs as you were playing around with your new cookbook? Rails tries very hard to present the user with pretty URLs. Rails URLs are simple and straightforward, not long and cryptic. Creating Actions and Views The page that shows the list of all recipes (Figure 39 above) desperately needs improvement. The way to do that is to take over the handling of the list action from the scaffolding. Edit recipe\_controller.rb and add a list method similar to Figure 40. Because we just created our own definition for the list action, Rails no longer uses the scaffold version. Rails called our list method and then tried to find a view template to render. Because we did not create one, we received this “template missing” error. Let’s create our own view template for the list action that only shows each recipe’s title and date. When we created our recipe controller, the generate controller script also created a view directory where we can place the HTML templates that the recipe controller can display. We need to create a template file named list.rhtml. If you have worked with JSP or ASP pages, this will look familiar. It is simply an html file with Ruby code embedded within \<% %\> and \<%= %\> tags.,and i have entered all the code given there on the web,getting the error…Missing template.script/…/config/…/app/views/recipe/list.rhtml… ---
