Hi, been reading your blog for a long period. I run a related blogging site although I keep receiving a pile of spam responses, how do you keep your blogging site so clean?

Thanks for the tutorial. How do I get .rhtml files to open in Firefox? I’m pretty new at this. Double clicking open gedit. File > open in Firefox asks which app to use.
Ubuntu Karmic Koala, rails 2.3.5

Ok, kind of a noob error…not too sure what I did wrong, but I’ll tell how I fixed. When I first downloaded mysql, I created the database using mysqladmin from the shell. When I was at the mysql prompt, the db didn’t exist! I had to add in the db under mysql for my user name, enter the table and columns along with datatypes and the app is now working…joy

hi, I am relatively new to the whole web development thing — I get this error when I attempt to browse to my default page: Mysql::Error: Table ‘todolist_development.tasks’ doesn’t exist: SHOW FIELDS FROM `tasks`

I believe I have created the database todolist_development, but it appears the table is not there. Did I miss a step?

Thanks!

Thanks a bunch. I was trying and trying to learn more about rails but never had the opportunity. You gave it to me.

Thanks again. Are you using .rhtml instead of .html.erb ’cause you want, right?

I had to fix a couple of things in index.rhtml to get the above code working.

1. To create tasks, i had to change the form_for as
{:action => “create”} do |f| -%>

2.I had to change the code for delete to this
| “tasks”, :action => “destroy”, :id=> task.id, :confirm => ‘Are you sure?’ %>

Mike, thanks! That probably happened when I was replacing all the symbols with html character signs to make it display right.
And I am glad you enjoyed it!

I’m totally new to rails, though I a little experience with rails.

For me, I had to type
$ rake db:migrate
as opposed to
$ rake dbmigrate

after creating the task model. I don’t know if this is something in my setup or if it’s a typo.

Thanks for the article!

To be quite honest about it, ROR confuses me greatly.

Cool tutorial. I am not really messing around with ROR anymore but will keep this bookmarked for a rainy day
