Hello All, I’ve developed RoR on windowsXP have deployed that on Linux. Everythings works fine when working on windows. Things are fine on Linux too untill I try to create new entry. I tried but couldn’t find any relevent information why it should happen only to this “specific” create action. I’m saying this because different create on other forms are working ok. But this is errorring out with the following log tail.

Look in your fileupload.rhml file and see what form action it. Use form\_tag to call the appropriate controller and action; you would be fine. ajay ---

Thanks Hey there Try \<%= start\_form\_tag :controller =\> ‘abc’, :action =\> ‘create’ %\> and tell me if you see the same problem. As I am thinking what else can go wrong. So try to be specific and see whether u see the problem again. HTH ajay ---

Hi Ajay, Sorry for not being clear. Let me quote it again. When I work on windows (in development mode) I don’t get any UnKNOWN Action error. I get it ONLY on Linux (in production mode) while creating new record. In this process “create” action is being called (and should ideally work) but for some reason it is not finding the “create()” in my controller. My View: new.rhtml \<%= start\_form\_tag :action =\> ‘create’ %\> \<%= render :partial =\> ‘form’ %\> \<%= submit\_tag “Create” %\> \<%= end\_form\_tag %\> My Controller: abc\_controller.rb def create @release = Release.new(params[:release]) if @release.save flash[:notice] = ‘Release was successfully created.’ session[:swrelease] = @release.swrelease render :action =\> ‘fileupload’ else render :action =\> ‘new’ flash[:notice] = ‘Row already present!’ end end It is not creating record so I would assume it wouldn’t go till fileupload or new action. It is failing before it reaches these points with the error ActionController::UnknownAction (No action responded to create): /scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action\_controller/filters.rb:368:in `perform_action_without_benchmark' /scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.1/lib/action_controller/benchmarking.rb:69:in`perform\_action\_without\_rescue’ /scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/benchmark.rb:293:in `measure’ /scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack- … (as pasted above) ``` /scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.2/lib/commands/server.rb:30 /scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in ``` `require' /scratch/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:147:in`require’ script/server:3 Please help understand this strange behaviour.
