You don't get it. I never asked for any ones advice on naming conventions, proper spelling , Restful vs url or any of the other usless things you felt compelled to comment on. I asked why I could not put the url address into the browser and get the page to return with out an error.
Thats the question No I did not post my question to get free lectures. I posted my question hoping some one might know the specific answer. I posted the code I thought might be relavant to the routing problem I did not expose it so you can go threw it with a fine tooth comb and critisize all its failings and your a lier to boot! the following is your reply to my question of how to down load a plug in called restful_authentication.... No were! not in one place does it go threw the steps of getting a plugin from the repository on to my system...You answered nothing! Your awnser about use install instead of source and be at the root of were your program is..although correct fixed nothing If I followed your advice I would have simple thrown my computer out a window and spent the next 2 years trying to learn some totally Alein crap. YOUR NOT A HELP!

Of course it isn't. The script directory lives inside your Rails app. You need to be at the root directory of your Rails application to run that. Your prompt implies that you are not in that directory. And you just want script/plugin install, not script/plugin source.

Just use a good editor (I like KomodoEdit, but there are many others). I'd also recommend dropping Windows; too much of Rails relies on a *nix toolset.
