If that’s the case, then you appear to be using RESTful routes which were introduced with 1.2. If you can upgrade your Rails to 1.2.x, you should be able to use this feature. -Rob Rob B.

As Rob said, the RESTful stuff didn’t get added to rails until R1.2 You need to update your rails. I don’t have experience with instant rails, but perhaps use the rake task to freeze rails to a paricular version.
