Hi all,

I’ve got stuck with this. Here’s the error message:  
NoMethodError in Account#index

Showing account/index.rhtml where line #4 raised:

undefined method `table\_name’ for Upload:Class  
Extracted source (around line #4):

1:

# My account
  
2:  
3: Login name: \<%= current\_user.login %\>   
  
4: Files uploaded: \<%= current\_user.uploads.find(:all).count %\>  
5:   
  
6: \<%= render :partial =\> ‘layouts/menu’ %\>

its a basic acts\_as\_authenticated user model with has\_many :uploads  
attribute  
any suggestions on how to fix this?

A backtrace would be really awesome, along with the files from the app  
that it points to.

I got that error too (but in Rails 1.2.3)

[http://pastie.org/139900](http://pastie.org/139900)

I only added line7 in user\_controller to have logs. The app works  
perfectly without it. And I also tried dropping/migrating the DB.

Look at the message. You have a naming conflict between WEBrick::Log  
and the Log class you defined. Can you use WoodenLogs or something  
like that?
