Hello.

I’ve added some routes :

map.news ‘news’, :controller =\> :News, :action =\>:index

map.login ‘login’, :controller =\> :Login , :action =\>:index

When I go to /news or /login before adding the routes, it works well.

When I add the routes and clik on the link that goes to /news or /  
login, I got a 500 internal error with this :

/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Sun Jan 04 11:18:54 +0100 2009

Any ideas ?

Thanks !

This is wrong, it should be:

map.news ‘news’, :controller =\> ‘news’, :action =\> ‘index’

Here’s the link\_to code :
