Issues with rails_authentication --include-activation

Hello,

So I installed the restful_authenticaiton plugin on an empty rails
2.3.4 project.

$ script/plugin install restful_authentication

Generated files using “Students” as my model (instead of the often-
used “Users”). Note that I’ve added the --include-activation flag.

$ ./script/generate authenticated students sessions --include-
activation

And after editing my environment.rb with the line:
config.active_record.observers = :student_observer # or whatever you

I get the following output when trying to run script/server

$ ./script/server => Booting WEBrick => Rails 2.3.4 application

What step might I have missed to get this error?

This doesn’t directly address your problem, but I’d suggest that you
forget about restful_authentication and use Authlogic instead. It won’t
fill your model files with framework-generated crap, and it’s a lot
nicer to work with.

If you specify :student_observer your “script/generate” should be:

script/generate authenticated student sessions --include-activation

NOTE: student not students
