Hi Guys,

I have a page - [http://www.pilotoutlook.com/flying\_club/dosearch](http://www.pilotoutlook.com/flying_club/dosearch)

which was working fine and then I changed the code and I started having  
some  
issues. So, I reverted it back but I am still having following errors -

Processing ApplicationController#dosearch (for 24.16.111.232 at  
2008-05-11  
01:23:12) [GET]  
Session ID: 879c894e2c7e646b380cd53b259833db  
Parameters: {“action”=\>“dosearch”, “controller”=\>“flying\_club”}

LoadError (Expected /usr/rails/app/controllers/flying\_club\_controller.rb  
to  
define FlyingClubController):

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.4/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:249:in

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.4.4/lib/active\_support/inflector.rb:250:in  
`constantize’

I have a flying\_club\_controller.rb which has following code -

class FlyingClubController \< ApplicationController  
def dosearch  
…  
end

…  
end

FlyingClubController is defined, so why is it complaining. Please  
advise.

One scenario: flying\_club\_controller.rb require’s some file (perhaps in  
a  
helper) which has a problem. Look there.

Btw, this is the Ruby language list; please ask Rails-related questions  
on the  
Rails mailing lists/fora.
