You're missing the 'r' in 'description' in show.html.erb:

undefined method 'desciption'

<b>Description:</b><%= @ad.desciption %>

I am following Head First Rails which has been written for older version of rails. I am working on its chapter 2 project but in Rails 3. Following are my files.

ads_controller.rb

class AdsController < ApplicationController
  def show
    @ad = Ad.find(params[:id])
  end

  def index
    @ads = Ad.find(:all)
  end
end

ad.rb

class Ad < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :description, :email, :img_url, :name, :price, :seller_id
end

index.html.rb

</h1>
<ul>
<% for ad in @ads %>
  <li><a href="/ads/<%= ad.id %>"><%= ad.name %></a></li>
<% end %>
</ul>

show.html.rb

<body>
    <p>
        <b>Name:</b><%= @ad.name %>
    </p>
    <p>
        <b>Description:</b><%= @ad.desciption %>
    </p>
    <p>
        <b>Price:</b><%= @ad.price %>
    </p>
    <p>
        <b>Seller Id:</b><%= @ad.seller_id %>
    </p>
    <p>
        <b>Email:</b><%= @ad.email %>
    </p>
    <p>
        <img src="<%= @ad.img_url %>"/>
    </p>
</body>

schema.rb

ActiveRecord::Schema.define(:version => 20121209174120) do

  create_table "ads", :force => true do |t|
    t.string   "name"
    t.text     "description"
    t.decimal  "price"
    t.integer  "seller_id"
    t.string   "email"
    t.string   "img_url"
    t.datetime "created_at",  :null => false
    t.datetime "updated_at",  :null => false
  end

end

Database is populated for all the fields. http://0.0.0.0:3000/ads/ works but http://0.0.0.0:3000/ads/<any number> does not work and throws the following error:

NoMethodError in Ads#show

On server window:

ActionView::Template::Error (undefined method `desciption' for #<Ad:0x007f7ff346c100>):

If I remove description in show.html.rb then it works fine and displays name, price, seller_id and email. What am I doing wrong?
