It appears you’ve tried to create a Product model but not specified any attributes for it, so it’s not surprising you’d get an empty “new” page. Second, after you create a new model, you need to get that info into the database, using `rake db:migrate`. > 6- go on localhost:3000/products and find (correctly) an empty list > 7- I want insert a new product, click on “new” but the page is empty > (see img attached) > Maybe Rails can’t connect with Mysql or something else… Uh, “maybe”? You can easily determine that by either looking at your log file, or opening a console and trying something that will need to do a DB access. ## But build a proper model and run migrations first, and see what happens.

Start with Getting Started, oddly enough. That will explain some things you are missing and should get you going. The ones on ActiveRecord relationships and Debugging are also compulsory reading.
