I’ve added the following to routes.rb

map.resource :login

if I do a rake routes I see

yadav@Energy64X2 $ rake routes  
(in /home/yadav/dev/rails/upload)  
new\_login GET /login/new(.:format)  
{:controller=\>“logins”, :action=\>“new”}  
edit\_login GET /login/edit(.:format)  
{:controller=\>“logins”, :action=\>“edit”}  
login GET /login(.:format)  
{:controller=\>“logins”, :action=\>“show”}  
PUT /login(.:format)  
{:controller=\>“logins”, :action=\>“update”}  
DELETE /login(.:format)  
{:controller=\>“logins”, :action=\>“destroy”}  
POST /login(.:format)  
{:controller=\>“logins”, :action=\>“create”}

However my login form break when I use

\<% form\_tag login\_path do %\>

I am forced to use

\<% form\_tag ‘/login/create’ do %\>

otherwise I get the following error

NameError in LoginsController#create  
uninitialized constant LoginsController
