Ken,

It sounds to me that somehow the admin controller is not getting
loaded at startup as well as the automatic reparsing of the html
feature and the loading of rhtml directly from masterview rather than
writing to file system feature.

Can you reply with a copy of the output that is given when you start
your server? Hopefully the output will shed some light on what is
happening. Here's what I see when I start a copy on windows.

C:\rails\demoa>ruby script\server

If you could also mention the steps you went through to get things up
and running, maybe that will help. For instance indicate whether you
installed via gem or plugin and what generate commands you used.
Something like

gem install masterview_gem_pack
cd c:\rails
rails demo
cd demo
ruby script\generate masterview_plugin
ruby script\generate masterview Product Store
ruby script\server

Finally if you could give the output of these commands it might also help

gem list rails
gem list masterview

Are you running rails 1.1.6, edge rails, or an older version?

Thanks,

Jeff
