It was written a little over two months ago -- eons ago in rails-time! About
two weeks ago I re-did all of the screenshots to bring it up to date. I must
have missed that one instance of abstract_application.rb that you mentioned.
But I'm glad I didn't miss anything more substantial.

Thanks... now if we can get it slash-dotted, that will *really* bring Rails
(and Ruby) some seriously deserved attention!

Wonderful! Thank you! I might get through this without trowing my hands
in the air! Great service to beginners like me.

About being up-to-date, the article is based on Rails 0.9.2 and mySQL
4.1.7. When I downloaded this today (eons after the article was
written..) I got Rails 0.9.4.1 and MySQL 4.1.9. Does the disclaimer
about compatibility between Rails and MySQL still hold where the
security panel settings of MySQL are concerned? I'd rather have MySQL
password protected if possible...

Thanks again,

Luc

The recent changelogs for Rails say that it now works with MySQL's new
authentication, so that that part of the article probably *is* out-of-date.
Although, I haven't personally tried it, yet... so, let me know if it works
for you.
