I have a database in execution, and the tables in singular. However one  
table is plural, and also your controller, view, model…When open in  
browser ([http://localhost:3008/clientes](http://localhost:3008/clientes)), the follow error appear:  
uninitialized constant Cliente. How I make for to recognize the  
“clientes”?

If it’s looking for Cliente that should be your code doing something  
like Cliente.find(:all)

It would fail for ClienteController instead

Hi, what’s the name of your table if you turned pluralize off?

I found the problems, it was in methos list. I make thus:

```
@clientes_pages, @clientes = paginate :clientes,
  :conditions => ['usuario_id = ?', session[:usuario_id]],
  :per_page => 20

```

for

```
@clientes_pages, @clientes = paginate :clientess,
  :conditions => ['usuario_id = ?', session[:usuario_id]],
  :per_page => 20

```
