friends of the int-arweb.

what does this mean:

(in bold) ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in Contact#create

SQLite3::SQLException: SQL logic error or missing database: INSERT
INTO contacts

Context:
this happened after I had finished setting up RoR as per the tutorial
at http://maczealots.com/tutorials/ruby-on-rails/

the database, is like, there. is there a nice ruby command like deal
to test if everything is hooked up correctly?

Can you paste config/database.yml and the output of

ls db

to make apparent everything looks fine?

Interestingly, I have a similar problem. I can select from the
database
just fine, and insert into the database from the sqlite shell (i.e:
sqlite>…). But when I attempt to insert into the database from a
form, in
otherwords using
ActiveRecord’s create method, I get the same error message as above,
albeit
different table.

per the requested information:

ls db yeilds
datadef.sql dev.db prod.db test.db

cat database.yml yeilds
development:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/dev.db

test:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/test.db

production:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/prod.db

Once again, I can select both from rails and the sqlite shell, but only
insert from the sqlite shell. I have not tried to update nor delete.

  • thank you, Travis.

Its a simple permission problem, make sure that your database can be
written
to by the webserver. duh.

I’m having the same problem, using Rails set up using the directions
here:

http://tonyarnold.com/articles/2005/12/14/ruby-on-rails-1-0-installer

After dealing with all sorts of permission problems (had to give
permission to the www user to access the tmp/sessions directory in the
Rails app’s folder), trying to get a simple Rails app running, that I
have in a folder in my desktop, when I try to update or create a
record I get the same error.

I went so far as to set the permissions of the whole rails apps files
and folders to 777, but that didn’t help.

Yeah, still a permissions problem. I set the permissions of the app’s
folder to 777:

chmod 777 test

and restarted Apache and it started working.

There’s got to be a better way to serve an app out of a folder in my
home directory without having to open the whole hierarchy wide open…
