I am going through the Agile Web D. with Rails book and  
following the creation of depot app.

On page 77 in the second edition i run the ruby script/generate scaffold  
product admin command.

After the auto generated files are created. When i test the interface i  
the Edit, New Product and Destroy link does not work.

When i click on the New Product link i do not see a form where i can  
enter the information for the new products.

When i click on the Edit link i do not see the form in the edit mode.

When i click on the Delete the javascript pop up ask me to say ok or  
cancel, when i clik the ok nothing happens. The product does not get  
removed.

I am unable to see any error message either.

Any ideas as to what i am doing wrong?

Hi, you’ll need to take a look at the development.log located in the  
log’s directory. Please provide post the relevant details here.

Hi, when you attempt to these actions within the browser, did run the  
following command within the root of your rails app:

script/server webrick

or

script/server

Actually rebooting the server fixed the problem.
