[Rails] Application Errors w/ layout & custom view pages

Sun Jan 1 11:13:35 GMT 2006

Thanks all for suggestions.  Actually the layout is in views/layouts - I 
just mistyped in email.  I have shown vital info & log below.  The 
default scaffold list without layout works fine.  I get similar error 
when trying to use a separate/custom page (ie welcome, help, ... etc) 
beyond the standard scaffold stuff.  And I cannot find any examples of such.

class AgenciesController < ApplicationController
   layout 'stdlayout'

   def index
     list
     render :action => 'list'
   end
   def list
     @agency_pages, @agencies = paginate :agencies, :per_page => 10
   end

.../app/views/layouts/stdlayout.rhtml
<html>
<head><title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>login screen</h1>
	<%= @content_for_layout %>
</body>
</html>
