OK, I’m trying to set up my first use of login and user engine application. Environment is on OS X. When I run rake engine\_migrate ENGINE=login I get: The db/migrate directory for engine ‘login\_engine’ appears to be missing However, I can see vendor/plugins/login\_engine/db/migrate/001\_initial\_schema.rb and I think I have followed all the instructions. Umm, what did I miss? Thanks in advance, Jonathan ---

Manuel, Thanks for posting this info. It saved me a lot of hunting and pecking. I saw the same behaviour on Windows. -MLA Manuel wrote: > Hi, > > this is a problem in the following file: > > …vendor/plugins/engines/tasks/engine.rake > > around line #22 > > Please remove 'RAILS\_ROOT, ’ from the following line and try again. > > * * * > > ## migration\_directory = File.join(RAILS\_ROOT, engine.root, ‘db’, ‘migrate’) > > Kind regards, > > Manuel > > ----- Nachricht von removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid --------- > Datum: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 19:55:52 +0100 > Von: Jonathan W.

Manuel Thank you very much. In fact I tried again before applying your suggested change and the problem had gone. The difference is that I’m now running in a Locomotive environment (rather that the home generated one I had when the problem occurred). So I’m sorry to have taken up bandwidth on this forum, but I guess it goes to show the value of Locomotive. Once again thanks, Jonathan ---
