Try [guides.rubyonrails.org](http://guides.rubyonrails.org) instead. > well as u can see this is the error which i get on terminal, but there > is another one in browser too which says : "NoMethodError in > AdminController#index " u can see it in the picture here : > [Twitpic](http://twitpic.com/1wsbal) > > so what seems to be the problem. Just like it says: you’re trying to call a method called index that doesn’t exist.
