Hi all, Thankfully, my site is now live. It needs some tweaks, but most importantly I need to fix the 500 internal server error I seem to be getting. We’re sorry, but something went wrong(500), We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it shortly. When I look at the log, it says: NoMethodError (undefined method `find_by_user_id' for #): app/controllers/user_controller.rb:32:in `index’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/rack/request\_handler.rb:92:in `process_request' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/abstract_request_handler.rb: 207:in `main\_loop’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/railz/application\_spawner.rb: 385:in `start_request_handler' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/railz/application_spawner.rb: 343:in `handle\_spawn\_application’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/utils.rb:184:in `safe_fork' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/railz/application_spawner.rb: 341:in `handle\_spawn\_application’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/abstract\_server.rb:352:in ` __send__' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/abstract_server.rb:352:in `main\_loop’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/abstract\_server.rb:196:in `start_synchronously' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/abstract_server.rb:163:in `start’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/railz/application\_spawner.rb: 209:in `start' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/spawn_manager.rb:262:in `spawn\_rails\_application’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/abstract\_server\_collection.rb: 126:in `lookup_or_add' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/spawn_manager.rb:256:in `spawn\_rails\_application’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/abstract\_server\_collection.rb: 80:in `synchronize' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/abstract_server_collection.rb: 79:in `synchronize’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/spawn\_manager.rb:255:in `spawn_rails_application' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/spawn_manager.rb:154:in `spawn\_application’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/spawn\_manager.rb:287:in `handle_spawn_application' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/abstract_server.rb:352:in ` **send** ’ /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion\_passenger/abstract\_server.rb:352:in `main_loop' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/abstract_server.rb:196:in `start\_synchronously’ /usr/lib/phusion\_passenger/passenger-spawn-server:61 So - the undefined method `find\_by\_user\_id line in the user\_controller says: @posts = Post.find\_by\_user.id( @user.id, 1, :limit =\> 1, :conditions =\> “active\_post = 1”, :order =\> “created\_at desc”) THis worked perfectly fine in development, so I dont understand why it hasn’t rendered the page as it did in prod. Has anyone else come across this issue before? If so - how/what do I need to do to resolve it? Many, many thanks (happy new year too!!) 🙂 🙂 – You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups “Ruby on Rails: Talk” group.

I’m going to go out on a limb & say that you did not perform your migrations in the production environment. The find\_by\* methods are dynamically generated. No find\_by\_user\_id method =\> no user\_id column.

Yeah good spot. I avoided rake db:migrate because of my error posted yesterday that returned: rake aborted! undefined method `reenable’ for \ [environment]\>:Rake::Task So I understand your reply, but I don’t know how to fix it… Is there a solution besides manually adding in the additional columns myself?

I’ve not kept up with migrations, as we have to use a different method here. You definitely want to fix your migrations, though.

If your table needs a user\_id column then it is not surprising that it does not work if you have not provided that column. I think you will either have to fix the migration or add the column manually. If you add it manually then when you get the migrations working you will have further problems to work around as the db will be out of phase with the migrations.

Thanks for that , I can add it manually, but as you say I’ll always be out of sync. I’ll dig a bit deeper. Thank you On 31 Dec, 15:27, Colin L.
