1. create a RoR project on Netbean 2)generate scaffold car name:string power:string 1. db:create 4:)db:migrate 1. Run project now on [http://localhost:3000/cars](http://localhost:3000/cars) you can find the app and play a little , the app is WORKING and SAVE every car you create 6)generate scaffold animal name:string speed:string 7)db:migrate now on [http://localhost:3000/cars](http://localhost:3000/cars) the app still work but on [http://localhost:3000/animals](http://localhost:3000/animals) the app IS NOT SAVING AND IS NOT WORKING after you try to save an animal just redirect to animals witout saving 1. open routes.rb change FROM map.resources :animals map.resources :cars TO map.resources :cars map.resources :animals NOW BOTH APPS WORK FINE !!! Why ? Is Netbeans generating a wrong file ? How can I change the apps priorty? ---

I followed these exact steps, and didn’t get the stated behavior. Everything worked fine here (Rails 2.2.2, OS X 10.5). If anybody’s going to be able to solve your problem, they’ll need more information: - versions, versions, versions. Which Rails? Which Netbeans? Which operating system? - “not working” (even in all caps) isn’t a problem description. Does it throw an exception? What appears in development.log when the code is “not working”? –Matt J.

Simone, you should restart your webserver after the second scaffolding (step 5). Regards Nicolai ---

I agree with this - the problem you ran into was that the routes file didn’t get reloaded correctly. This is a known issue (see [http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/981-fix-for-routing-optimization-code](http://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/981-fix-for-routing-optimization-code) ) with the 2.1 series. I would _highly_ recommend that you upgrade to 2.2.2, or even wait a bit for 2.3 to drop. Apart from supporting production sites, there’s very little reason to stay with older versions, and lots of reasons (read: fixed bugs) to move forward. –Matt J. ---

I will fix it later and go directly to 2.3
