8,526 PointsThe module name should be capitalized; module Odot, not module odot. That's just one of the naming rules

Courses Plus Student 19,663 PointsWould need to see your code but it looks like a name error. Ensure you are using doing it the rails way. For instance of say 'Users'. Naming conventions for Model would be 'User' and controller would be 'UsersConroller'. Take note of the capital letters and pluralisation.

56,414 PointsThe error message is pointing to a problem in the config/application.rb file at line 9. Could you post the code from that file so we can see what the problem is?
