Hello everyone! I think a little background is necessary.
I've been a web-developer and linux user for a little over 4 years now, primarily working with PHP and MySQL. I've tried several other frameworks like Django and CodeIgniter and several other languages, including python, perl, ASP/.NET, javascript and javascript frameworks, also worked with Oracle and PostgreSQL and many many technologies like e-commerce apps and content management systems. I've heard of Ruby on Rails from the beginning but am only now realizing that this is the way to go.
So right now I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with Apache and Ruby 1.8.7. I tried following this tutorial http://www.dolicapax.org/?p=11 completely but ran into problems after using gem to install rails, as I was not able to run the rails command in my terminal. So I ended up installing it with aptitude. Maybe this is part of the source of my problem, as I hear that is not the best way to do it.
Either way, I've been following the lynda.com ruby on rails essential training screencasts and just about everything is working just fine except this scaffold issue. The instructions in the screencasts are using Ruby 1.8.4, so I'm not sure if this scaffolding convention has changed at all since then, because I'm an absolute beginner.
Can anyone please help with this issue?
Thanks
