hi

  i use rails 3.0.1,mysql2 and ruby 1.9.2 on windows 7,but i met invalid date error in many places,for example,when add index,the error happens,i cancel index,but when activate user account using restful_authentication plugin,the error happens again. so how to fix it? or can you recommend the stable rails version to use.it seems to be a problem for a few people.

The error seems to be in users_controller.rb line 32… can you show the code of this line and the surrounding method:

ArgumentError (invalid date):
  app/controllers/users_controller.rb:32:in `activate'

The error seems to be in users_controller.rb line 32.... can you show the code of this line and the surrounding method:

ArgumentError (invalid date):   app/controllers/users_controller.rb:32:in `activate'

line 32 is following: user = User.find_by_activation_code(params[:activation_code]) unless params[:activation_code].blank?

the surrounding methods are in attached file.

the activate is method invoked by a link in email template which is sent successfully by an observer.

the route for activate method: match '/activate/:activation_code' => 'users#activate', :as => :activate, :activation_code => nil
