Response to: Update not working
If you are running on Windows, you could try using Instant Rails (http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/). It contains the cookbook app as a preinstalled sample application, which should just work out-of-the-box. Once you have something working, then you can compare against what's not working.

  I experienced "update not working" and traced
  it to the case of the "name" attribute on the
  input tags in edit.rhtml.
  
  That is, I finally made it work by changing
  recipe[category_id] to Recipe[category_id].
  I gather that the posted "name" attribute
  is used as the model name, which is capitalized
  in the command "ruby script\generate model Recipe"
  
  Just reporting empirical results!

  I posted too soon; I gathered wrong.
  The real problem was that I used
  "scaffold :Recipe" in the controller,
  instead of "scaffold :recipe", as
  the article prescribed.
