Action Controller: Nil Object

I am getting this error message, although I have checked the show.rhtml file and the corresponding controller file, when trying to look at my new permalink. Any advice/help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Um, @story is nil.

You’ll have to post the controller code for any help.

I've been back tracking all my work. Now I am getting a Routing Error looking like this: Routing Error

no route found to match "/story/new/show/my-shiny-weblog" with {:method=>:get}

And my controller looks like this:

class StoryController < ApplicationController   def index     @story = Story.find(:first, :order => 'RAND()')   end

  def new     @story = Story.new(params[:story])     if request.post? and @story.save       flash[:notice] = 'Story submission succeeded'       redirect_to :action => 'index'     end   end

  def show     @story = Story.find_by_permalink(params[:permalink])   end end
