ActiveResource model is not getting initialized

I am looking at using ActiveResource but is now facing a problem that I am unable to figure out myself (was searching the net for a couple of days for the solution by now).

So I have an authentication app sitting at http://localhost:80 and a client on port :85

In my auth app

I have a User model with its controller which follows REST architecture and is set to respond to xml calls.

Here is what I have in my auth app:

models/User.rb

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
end

*controllers/users_controller.rb*

class UsersController < ApplicationController
respond_to :html, :xml, :js

def index
    @users = User.find :all
    respond_with @users
end

def show
    @user = User.find(params[:id])
    respond_with @user
end
.
.
.
end

In a client application

I have a class extending from active resource as follows:

models/user.rb

class User < ActiveResource::Base
    self.site = "http://localhost:80"
end

Here is how I am trying to use it: *controllers/sessions_controller.rb*

class SessionController < ApplicationController

  def home
    @user = User.find(:all)
  end
end

what could go wrong, right?..

But then I am getting the following error:

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-09-02 08:33:44 +1200 Processing
by SessionsController#home as HTML Completed 500 Internal Server Error

I am using:

ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30 revision 33570) [i686-linux]
Rails 4.0.0
activeresource (4.0.0) gem is installed

What could I possibly be doing wrong?
Is it possible that ActiveResource failing to connect to localhost:80 and as a result does not get initialized?

EDIT:

done rvm use 2.0.0 so now ruby version is: ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [i686-linux]

I have finally figured this out...

For some reason (I would be grateful if someone can post an explanation why) I had to require active resource manually in my user.rb file.

The correct code to make it work should be:

require 'active_resource'  

class User < ActiveResource::Base  
    self.site = "http://localhost:80"  
end  

P.S
Thank you zeantsoi for your comments, those have led me into a search for reasons of this gem not being loaded.
