You have Users plugin. User model is not found and Cake creates an instance of AppModel. (this odd behavior enables you to query db tables without having to create model first.)
Make sure "class User extends UsersAppModel" and configure Auth to use "Users.User" as model name: $this->Auth->authenticate = array( 'Form' => array( 'userModel' => 'Users.User', 'fields' => array('username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password'), 'scope' => array('User.active' => 1) ) ); in AppController::beforeFilter() or elsewhere. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
