Hi,

I am trying to install the new version 1.7.rc2 under Linux (Fedora 9). Actually, I’m upgrading from version 1.6. After a few issues installing the mysql gem, I have successfully migrated my database and started the Tracks server. However, I now get the following errors in my browser (FF 3.0.6) when accessing Tracks: “NoMethodError in Todos#index ... undefined method `in_time_zone’ for Fri, 20 Feb 2009:Date”. The full error page is pasted below.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Dave.

Did all the migrations run without errors?

In the database, the due_date and show_from should be datetimes. Looking at the error, it seems you have Date as datatype in your database, probably for due_date. Could you check this?

Thanks for the quick response. This indeed seems to have been the root of the problem. Although I did not get any errors when running the migration, it seems that it did not actually do anything. I am using SQLite and the problem (I think) was that I had copied my whole db directory from version 1.6, rather than just copying the file tracks-15-blank.db into the new db directory.

In any case, after the new successful migration, it works.

Many thanks,

Dave.

Just your db file is enough.

Did you point to your correct database in database.yml? After that, just run rake db:migrate and all should be fine
