Thanks Guys that helped me out alot. I have the same set up. I'm also using rails 2.2. Im not so proficient in the ruby language,I know how to deal with arrays, hashes, code blocks, functions, basic stuff nothing fancy at all. Should I be concentrating more on the ruby language instead of moving so fast to rail projects?
