Hi all

I am getting this problem when I run this code in server. In my  
localhost everything is running fine. But when I deploy my code in the  
server it shows me the error. I am using FERRET SERARCH IN MODEL.

NameError in CompetitorsController#index

Are you sure all your migrations have run successfully on the server?  
What happens if you open a console and try `Competitor.find(:all)` ?

Is this in app/models/competitor.rb (case is probably important) ?

Yes Hassan all my migrations have run successfully on the server.  
On the server there is no console facility.

Have you checked that there is a competitors table in the production  
database (perhaps you forgot to run the migrations on that db as  
Hassan suggested)?  
Also check that the file app/models/competitors.rb is present on the  
production server and restart the server.  
You have not answered Hassan’s question:  
What happens if you open a console and try `Competitor.find(:all)` ?  
(on the production server)
