Hello, I have the datebocks engine installed and working great on my local machine (macbook using Locomotive 2), but up on Dreamhost I get this undefined datebocks\_field error on my templates (see error message at the bottom of the email). I’ve triple checked that I have both the engines plugin and the datebocks\_engine plugin installed correctly, my environment config has Engines.start :datebocks, and both ApplicationController and ApplicationHelper include datebocks. I’ve killed and started new fcgi processes many times. one thing I noticed on development was that sometimes I would get this same error when loading a view using datebocks for the first time after starting the server (Locomotive 2 uses Mongrel), but from the first refresh on it would work fine. perhaps this is related? any help would be greatly appreciated, been stuck for several weeks, got no response on the Rails talk list (though there’s another thread mentioning the same problem), and so far no luck with the Dreamhost support people… the error message: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `datebocks\_field’ for #\<#Class:0x2509050:0x2509014\>) on line #54 of app/views/reservations/step1.rhtml: 54: \<%= datebocks\_field “agreement”, “check\_out” %\> #{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/views/reservations/step1.rhtml:54:in `_run_rhtml_reservations_step1' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/form_helper.rb:149:in`fields\_for’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_view/helpers/form\_helper.rb:127:in `form_for' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/views/reservations/step1.rhtml:36:in`\_run\_rhtml\_reservations\_step1’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_view/base.rb:316:in `compile_and_render_template' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/base.rb:292:in`render\_template’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_view/base.rb:251:in `globalize_old_render_file' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/globalize/lib/globalize/rails/action_view.rb:16:in`render\_file’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_controller/base.rb:726:in `render_file' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/base.rb:648:in`render\_with\_no\_layout’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_controller/layout.rb:245:in `render_without_benchmark' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/benchmarking.rb:53:in`render’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/1.8/benchmark.rb:293:in `measure' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/benchmarking.rb:53:in`render’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_controller/base.rb:942:in `perform_action_without_filters' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/filters.rb:368:in`perform\_action\_without\_benchmark’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_controller/benchmarking.rb:69:in `perform_action_without_rescue' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/1.8/benchmark.rb:293:in`measure’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_controller/benchmarking.rb:69:in `perform_action_without_rescue' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/rescue.rb:82:in`perform\_action’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_controller/base.rb:408:in `process_without_filters' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/filters.rb:377:in`process\_without\_session\_management\_support’ #{RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action\_controller/session\_management.rb:117:in `process' #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails/railties/lib/dispatcher.rb:38:in`dispatch’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel/rails.rb:84:in `process' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/1.8/sync.rb:229:in`synchronize’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel/rails.rb:83:in `process' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel.rb:580:in`process\_client’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel.rb:579:in `process_client' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel.rb:686:in`run’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel.rb:686:in `run' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel.rb:673:in`run’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:267:in `run' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:266:in`run’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/bin/mongrel\_rails:127:in `run' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/lib/mongrel/command.rb:211:in`run’ /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.4/bin/mongrel\_rails:231 /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/i386/bin/mongrel\_rails:18
