Hi Javier,

This is covered quite thoroughly in the README for your particular  
version of the plugin. Please check the documentation, and if you’re  
still having problems let us know the version of the plugin and the  
version of Rails you’re using.

James

Hi Javier,

I’m not 100% sure what the issue here is, but I’ll try and cover off  
the obvious things. Firstly, with Rails 1.2 you no longer run “rake  
db:migrate:engines” - this is very much covered in the README and  
UPGRADING notes.

The other thing is that the login\_engine and user\_engines are  
deprecated, and no longer supported, so they probably won’t work in  
their current state with Rails 1.2. Patches (with tests) are welcome,  
but not expected.

James
