Hi Guys,  
I’m having some trouble getting login\_engine to work. I’ve followed the  
steps in the README file to the letter (I think) with the exception of  
the Mailer stuff and cannot get my application to run. Heres what I  
have;

module ApplicationHelper  
include login\_engine  
end  
#####################################

require ‘login\_engine’

class ApplicationController \< ActionController::Base  
include LoginEngine  
helper :user  
model :user

```
 before_filter :login_required

```

end  
###################################

In environment.rb;

module LoginEngine  
config :salt, “throcking-cottered”  
config :use\_email\_notification, false  
end

Engines.start :login

########################################

In Vendor\plugins I have  
engines  
login\_engine  
In Vendor\plugins\login\_engine I have  
app  
db  
lib  
public  
tasks  
test  
init\_engine.rb  
README  
#######################################

When I try to start WEBrick I get  
D:\ruby\projects\tmp\>ruby script/server  
=\> Booting WEBrick…

and finally -\> in the README there is this statement

Setup your Rails application

Edit your database.yml, most importantly!

Edit what?

TIA,  
Eric.

‘database.yml’ is the database configuration file in your /config  
folder, but I don’t think that’s related to your error. Which version  
of Rails are you using?

module ApplicationHelper  
include LoginEngine # NOT ‘login\_engine’, that’s not a Module or a  
Class…  
end
