Looks like the name of ActiveRecord::Base is formatted incorrectly. you currently have: class TodoList < activerecord:: base, which is the incorrect name.

go to your TodoList model (todolist.rb?) under your app/models folder and replace the class name with this:

class TodoList < ActiveRecord::Base

and that should fix the problem.

That fixed it! I do not remember changing it case? but hey I will take it.

I know the linux is case sensitive, but when should i be using caps in Ruby?
