My controller is as follows:

class CommunityController \< ApplicationController  
helper :profile

def index  
@title = “Community”  
@letters = “ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ”.split("")  
if params[:id]  
@initial = params[:id]  
@pages = Page.paginate :page =\> params[:page], :order =\>  
‘last\_name, first\_name’

```
end

```

end

def browse  
end

def search  
end  
end

I get the following error when I click on an index:

NameError in CommunityController#index

uninitialized constant CommunityController::Page

RAILS\_ROOT: /home/ironmantis7x/projects/mypetkingdom  
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.3.5/lib/active\_support/  
dependencies.rb:105:in `const_missing' /home/ironmantis7x/projects/mypetkingdom/app/controllers/ community_controller.rb:9:in`index’

Can someone help me out? I checked to see if I have will\_paginate  
installed and if it is loaded and it is installed correctly and it  
responds.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!

Is your model really called Page?
