Hello, I generated a controller, using the command: ruby script/generate controller my\_kontroller my\_model The generated controller file, however, contains an empty class definition. The default controller code is missing. Any idea what went wrong? Thanks, gk ---

You only get controller code with script/generate scaffold model\_name. [www.jefdean.com](http://www.jefdean.com) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid 917 414 7801 ---
