One more point like I have tried to configure my DB in database.yml.

It was

development:
adapter: sqlite3
database: db/development.sqlite3
pool: 5
timeout: 5000

I changed to

development:
adapter: mysql
database: library_development
username: root
password: *****
host: localhost
pool: 5
timeout: 5000

Any problem with this ?

It is telling you the line that the problem is (line 27 in
user_controller.rb, which is a bit odd, I would have expected it to be
called users_controller.rb not user_controller.rb), and the error
tells you that you are calling gsub, but the object you are calling it
on is a number instead of a valid object that understands the method
gsub. Have a look at that line. Then if you cannot see the problem
have a look at the Rails Guide on debugging for suggestions on how to
debug your code.

Thanks Colin
we are calling it as an object. Please find my login code below.

def login
if request.get?
@user = User.new(:remember_me => cookies[:remember_me] || "0")
elsif param_posted?(:user)
@user = User.new(params[:user])
user = User.find_by_screen_name_and_password(@user.screen_name,
@user.password)
if user
user.login!(session)
if @user.remember_me == "1"
cookies[:remember_me] = { :value => "1",
:expires => 10.years.from_now }
user.authorization_token = user.id
user.save!
cookies[:authorization_token] = { (line no. 27)
:value => user.authorization_token, (line no. 28)
:expires => 10.years.from_now } (line no. 29)
else
cookies.delete(:remember_me)
cookies.delete(:authorization_token)
end
flash[:notice] = "User #{user.screen_name} logged in!"
redirect_to_forwarding_url
else
@user.clear_password!
flash[:notice] = "Invalid screen name/password combination"
end
end
end

Which is the line generating the error?

  user.authorization_token = user.id

This is where things go wrong - user.id is not a string.

 

user.save!
cookies[:authorization_token] = {              (line no. 27)
:value => user.authorization_token,            (line no. 28)

The cookie value here *must* be a string - passing in a Fixnum is what's causing the error. The original RailsSpace code sets the token to a hashed string, not the user's id.

Regarding RailsSpace: that book is wildly out-of-date (I note that you're using Rails 2.0.2 from the traces above) and does some things that were extremely questionable even for that time period. For instance, storing passwords in cleartext in the DB is strongly discouraged - it's led to *massive* security breaches over the years on other web applications.

Here's an updated tutorial from the RailsSpace authors, so you're not learning the 2007 version of the framework:
