A quick google search tells me that start\_form\_tag was deprecated in  
rails  
1.2 and removed in 2.0. You will have to use form\_tag or form\_for

It looks like you have a problem at application.rb:25.

You have done ‘rake rails:update’ haven’t you? You should not have an  
application.rb any more, it should be application\_controller.rb. If I  
remember correctly rake rails:update should have renamed it as well as  
updating boot and the scripts and so on.

Generally speaking, you need to read through what the changes are to  
Rails since you’ve upgraded versions…

Start at your old version, and check the changelog for each version up  
to the one you are on now…

Otherwise, this “Okay, now this… what do I do?” could go on for quite  
some time.

What you could do is read the changelogs…
