that should be
has_many :comments

You have not told us which line the error points to but I guess it is
the one above. If so then it is saying that @post is nil, so your
find_by_id did not find anything. You don't need to use find_by_id,
you can just use
@post = Post.find( params[:id] )
Perhaps there is not a Post object with the correct id. If you look
in log/development.log you will see the params you are passing which
may give you a clue.

I suggest, however, that as a beginner you work right through a good
tutorial such as railstutorial.org (which is free to use online).
That will show you the basics of rails.

Also see the Rails Guides.
