rails 3.2.6 routing error

Question

i am new to rails, i followed the book "head first with rails"

this are the steps i did:

$rails tickets

shaun@master ~/Desktop/tickets $ rails generate scaffold ticket name:string seat_id_seg:string address:text price_paid:decimal email_address:string


shaun@master ~/Desktop/tickets $ rake routes
    tickets GET    /tickets(.:format)          tickets#index
            POST   /tickets(.:format)          tickets#create
 new_ticket GET    /tickets/new(.:format)      tickets#new
edit_ticket GET    /tickets/:id/edit(.:format) tickets#edit
     ticket GET    /tickets/:id(.:format)      tickets#show
            PUT    /tickets/:id(.:format)      tickets#update
            DELETE /tickets/:id(.:format)      tickets#destroy


    shaun@master ~/Desktop/tickets $ rake db:migrate
==  CreateTickets: migrating ==================================================
-- create_table(:tickets)
   -> 0.1065s
==  CreateTickets: migrated (0.1069s) =========================================

how do i solve this? i want to be able to see the main page and with all the links to go to index, create new ticket, edit, show, update and delete.

Answer 1

I just did exactly as you wrote for a new Rails 3.2.6 app, and it worked fine for me. The only step you missed was to run rake db:migrate after your scaffold generation. Try that and see if it works.
