problem with scaffold

am trying to follow the outlined steps in Agile web development with rails book(1st edition) to develop a shopping cart named depot.

after this command, ruby script/generate scaffold Product Admin which is supposed to write a basic maintenance application,from the explanations of the book when i access this address http://localhost:3000/admin the list of products needs to be seen but that is not what i get, and it looks like the above command did not even create admin controller in my machine.

help please.

am using rails 2.1 and ruby 1.8.6

Just a guess here, but I'll bet you're running Rails 2.x.

Agile Web Development with Rails (AWDWR) 1st edition was written for Rails 1.2.x. If you're determined to start with Rails 2.x, the third edition of AWDWR is coming out soon and the PDF version is already available. See

-edition

Alternatively, you can drop back to Rails 1.2.x and get an understanding of the basics of Rails, then move forward to Rails 2.x and learn about REST and the Rails routing engine. If you're on Windows, I recommend InstantRails (version 1.7) as an easy starting point. It's at http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=904

HTH, Bill
