Hello,

I am trying to enable SSL for my rails app. I have installed the  
ssl\_requirements plugin and added “include SslRequirement” in the  
application controller. Then I restart the server and access the home  
page.

Then I am getting this error:

NameError in ProjectsController#index  
uninitialized constant SslRequirement::UserSystem

I have searched for this error, no luck. I notice that the plugin is  
correctly installed in the vendors directory. As soon as I remove the  
line “include SslRequirement”, my site works again.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks again!
