I wanted to make a ‘simple blog’ refer to “Creating a weblog in 15  
minutes” on [rubyonrails.org](http://rubyonrails.org)

I made controller named post, and model named posts and started again  
Webrick server  
but , ther was a error like this →

SyntaxError

app/controllers/posts\_controller.rb:1: Invalid char `\357' in expression app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:1: Invalid char `\273’ in  
expression  
app/controllers/posts\_controller.rb:1: Invalid char `\277’ in  
expression

RAILS\_ROOT: script/…/config/…

This error occured while loading the following files:  
script/…/config/…/app/controllers/posts\_controller.rb

I wonder why this error is occuring…

P.S It’s my first writing in this group 🙂
