I’ve started a fresh new app via SSH

here’s what I typed:  
$ rails test

cd test

$ ruby script/generate scaffold Evento nombre:string locacion:text  
fecha:date

when I try to create a new ‘evento’ from the Eventos listing I get the  
following error:

NoMethodError in Eventos#new

Showing eventos/new.html.erb where line #13 raised:

undefined method `fecha’ for #\<Evento id: nil, nombre: nil, locacion:  
nil\>

Extracted source (around line #13):

10:  
11:

12: **Fecha**  
  
13: \<%= f.date\_select :fecha %\>  
14:  
15:  
16:

I’ve tried changing the line 13, like this:

\<%= date\_select( “fiesta”, “fecha”, :start\_year =\> 2008 ) %\>

but it doesn’t work either. I can’t see where’s the error. can you  
help me please?  
I have rails 2.0, ruby 1.8.6 running in my server ( a [bluehost.com](http://bluehost.com)  
hosting account)
