I’m trying to follow a simple tutorial at
http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Tutorial,
I run
./script/generate controller hello index
but it pulls up a 500 error when I access the page.
The error logs say:
/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Fri Jun 20 18:06:54 -0700 2008
Status: 500 Internal Server Error
Secret should be something secure, like
“a6259536bb7e2a1974a2cabefaa1c61b”. The value you provided, “<%=
app_secret %>”, is shorter than the minimum leng
th of 30 characters
