Hello,

I am trying to enable SSL for my rails app. I have installed the ssl\_requirements plugin and added "include SslRequirement" in the application controller. Then I restart the server and access the home page.

Then I am getting this error:

NameError in ProjectsController#index uninitialized constant SslRequirement::UserSystem

I have searched for this error, no luck. I notice that the plugin is correctly installed in the vendors directory. As soon as I remove the line “include SslRequirement”, my site works again.

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks again!

Hi Peter,

the reason for this might be that you are using an outdated version of ssl\_requirement, read more at:
