hi guys, I am having problems after scaffolding I created a db called “requests” and when i tried to execute the command script/generate scaffold request It gave me an error please make sure you have a database request created before you do this The db is obviously created; rails cant access it… so I tried to hack i copied my view model and controller files from my local deployment to my LIVE server. Everything seems to work fine except that my app cant find my CSS so instead of something like this: it renders something like this: hence my app cant find the css… any solution regards, warlock handler ---

Hi I wonder why scaffolding generates error !?? ### script/generate scaffold request You hadn’t entred the name of the controller, is this an error !?? Why not you didn’t used this line : ### script/generate scaffold request controler\_name Or maybe, you entred a non-exsitng table, or the name of the table in your db wasn’t in plural I’m new in the RoR programming, and I wanna learn more about scaffolding that’s why I insist Plz, could you tell us what was the real problem with scaffolding ?? Thanks ---

[removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) Yes I have a DB… and a table named requests… I wasnt sure why the error; but all I can say is first i had hit a script/generate scaffold requests then I hit script/destroy scaffold requests (as it was suppose to be singular) then I hit script/generate scaffold request and still I got the error… anyways the hack is working perfectly fine. ---

Hi, I dont know if this is something you missed: The project, let’s name it as “depot”, needs a “depot\_development” db, and in this db, you need a table named “requests” before you can do “scaffold request”. I mentioned the above because u said ---- it was a DB called “requests”, be attention about DB and table within DB. Br, On 9ÔÂ19ÈÕ, ÉÏÎç11ʱ14·Ö, Vinay B.
