I installed two plugins: scaffolding and classic\_pagination

When “[http://localhost:3000/admin/new](http://localhost:3000/admin/new)”

then click “Create” button

it display

Unknown action  
No action responded to /admin/create

and url is very “strange”  
[http://localhost:3000/admin/%2Fadmin%2Fcreate](http://localhost:3000/admin/%2Fadmin%2Fcreate)

could anyone tell me what’s wrong

Difficult to say with so little code:  
What the code in your view (admin/new.html.erb)? And what’s the code  
of the new action in your controller (admin.rb)?

Ozray,  
I got the error. I am just following the steps in AWDWR (2nd) to learn  
Ruby on Rails.

I don’t think I skipped any step.  
Were you able to find out why you were getting that issue? Is it  
solved now?  
Thanks  
Phil

I have the same error.  
The code in controller: admin\_controler.rb is  
class AdminController \< ApplicationController  
scaffold :product  
end

There is no view defined yet.

The code in model: product.rb is:  
class Product \< ActiveRecord::Base  
end

Any idea?  
Phil
