I am a newbie at rails and can’t figure out the following problem. Can  
anyone help?  
I am running the following:  
Ruby version 1.8.6 (powerpc-darwin9.4.0)  
RubyGems version 1.2.0  
Rails version 2.1.0  
Active Record version 2.1.0  
Action Pack version 2.1.0  
Active Resource version 2.1.0  
Action Mailer version 2.1.0  
Active Support version 2.1.0

I created three models using the: “script/generate scaffold modelname  
name:string address:string city:string” format.

The first two models work using the CRUD forms. On the third model I  
get the following error when I access [http://localhost:3000/users/new](http://localhost:3000/users/new)

ArgumentError in Users#new

Showing users/new.html.erb where line #8 raised:

wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

Extracted source (around line #8):

5:  
6:

7: \<%= f.label :name %\>  
  
8: \<%= f.text\_field :name %\>  
9:

  
10: 

11: \<%= f.label :time %\>
