I want to access same page using two different url’s for that i had done  
following in routes.rb  
1] map.connect ‘projects/:project\_id/issues/:action’, :controller =\>  
‘issues’  
so when my url is  
[http://localhost:3000/projects/xyz/issues/new](http://localhost:3000/projects/xyz/issues/new)

i access the new.rhtml page of a issue controller

what i want that when i write simply

[http://localhost:3000/issues/new](http://localhost:3000/issues/new) it should render me to the action new  
of a issues controller.

i try something like this in routes.rb

map.connect ‘issues/:action’, :controller =\> ‘issues’, :action=\>‘new’

and then restart the server but it doesn’t works…

Hello Salil. You’re unlikely to get any help on this list because its  
a plain Ruby list. Please try the rails-talk list:
