Just trying to do the simple examples seen in both the tutorial and video.
But when I try to access my newly created controller
(./scripts/new_controller Foo) in the browser by accessing
'http://rails/foo/' I get this:
/home/fredde/projects/ruby/rails/public/../vendor/railties/../../vendor/railties/dispatcher.rb:32:in
`rescue_errors': undefined method `info' for nil:NilClass
(NoMethodError)
from /home/fredde/projects/ruby/rails/public/../vendor/railties/../../vendor/railties/dispatcher.rb:14:in
`initialize'
from /home/fredde/projects/ruby/rails/public/dispatch.cgi:5:in `new'
from /home/fredde/projects/ruby/rails/public/dispatch.cgi:5
[Tue Jul 27 02:00:06 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of
script headers: /home/fredde/projects/ruby/rails/public/dispatch.cgi
For some reason 'ActionController::Base.logger' is nil. I don't see
anywhere it is initialized either so I'm not sure what I'm missing.
Have I forgot something?

Did you extract with the correct flags as per
Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. ?
Check the permissions on the log files in rails/log and make sure they are
writeable.

Make sure you follow all the steps on Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.. Sounds like perhaps you forgot step 2, which causes the permissions to be bad. If you're having more problems, I'm sure the friendly Railers at #rubyonrails on FreeNET can help you

I'm still learning rails myself, but I think foo is the controller, and you need an action to call on it: http://rails/foo/bar

Check the permissions on your log directory and log file and make sure that the www-data user (or whatever apache runs as) can write to those directories.
This stymied me for a while as well.

Check the permissions on your log files and make sure they are writeable
by all. See Ruby on Rails — A web-app framework that includes everything needed to create database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern.

You might need to fix the permissions on the directory where Apache will write the log files for this virtual host.

This has been one of the top "stymizers" for people and a constant source of questions on #rubyonrails. I'll make sure to rectify this shortly! An obscure and untraceable error for something that should be very simple. Bad Rails, Baaaad Rails!
