Authentication - Ruby

Hey I have problem with ruby authentication - devise.

I followed each step carefully with the videos. After I sign up for new user with my email and pass I get an error page.

Can't mass-assign protected attributes: email, password, password_confirmation

Does anyone knows what to do ?

Note: I'm using higher patch 3.2 ... something like this.

Also how does ruby connect to a database? There was no video saying how to configure connection to DB???

If anyone has this problem: I have solved it.

In your -> model -> user.rb look for line saying attr_accessible

how did you solve it? I see:

devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable, :recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable # attr_accessible :title, :body

stackoverflow had the fix for devise, and I added :profile_name to it

attr_accessible :first_name, :last_name, :email, :profile_name, :password, :password_confirmation

I am learning that patience is a good thing. I am now watching the videos first before going through the steps instead of following along and working (pause + play). Now going back and re-watching all the videos to update my files.

Thank You!
