When I entered the following command:

> ruby script/plugin install scaffolding

it promoted as follows:

- ./MIT-LICENSE
- ./README
- ./Rakefile  
Plugin not found: [“scaffolding”]

Even I do it this ways,

> ruby script/plugin install  
> [Peak Obsession](http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/rails/plugins/scaffolding)

it can’t either.  
I can access this site by web, where is the problem ?  
thx.

I had the same issue with scaffolding. Its due to the fact that  
scaffolding  
has been depreciated with the latest release of RoR.  
If you really want to use this feature of rails, downgrade to an earlier  
version of rails. Especially if you are following a tutorial of sorts,  
using  
a newer version of rails will bring you untold problems!

Good luck
