Ferret Problem with Restful Authentication

I am using Restful Authentication plugin for the login system.
Whenever I include ferret in my application it shows me error. I am
using the ferret for the other model as well in which it works very
well. Can anyone suggest me why is Restful Authentication causing a
problem.

Whenever I include ferret in my application it shows me error.

what error?

how do you use ferret?
on which tables/columns do you use it? especially: do you use it on
anything thats connected with the authentication?

Are you using acts_as_ferret? This will include ferret in every model
you want to use it in.

I am using acts_as_ferret in User.rb. But whenever I add this in User
model and try to start the server I get the following error

Please help me to get out of this problem.

Yes there is require ‘acts_as_ferret’ in my environment.rb file.

Are you using the plugin or the gem.

If you’re using the gem, you need to include a require
‘acts_as_ferret’ in you environment.rb file to make it available to
the project.

That’s the only thing I can see here as the plugin would have it
loaded.
