I have this app where people can build a profile full of various kinds of data. The first page that they see when they create their profile is a page named ‘new’. If you add an id number for the company you work for - one that is already know by the user - it automaticaly fills in your company address information for you. Everything works fine, but I just happen to be looking at my logs and I see that everytime the ‘new’ page is visited it is throwing some kind of error: ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches “/javascripts/defaults.js” with {:method=\>:get}): c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action\_controller/routing/recognition\_optimisation.rb:67:in `recognize_path' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action_controller/routing/route_set.rb:384:in`recognize’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action\_controller/dispatcher.rb:148:in `handle_request' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:107:in`dispatch’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action\_controller/dispatcher.rb:104:in `synchronize' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:104:in`dispatch’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action\_controller/dispatcher.rb:120:in `dispatch_cgi' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:35:in`dispatch’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/bin/…/lib/mongrel/rails.rb:76:in `process' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/bin/../lib/mongrel/rails.rb:74:in`synchronize’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/bin/…/lib/mongrel/rails.rb:74:in `process' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:159:in`process\_client’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:158:in `each' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:158:in`process\_client’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:285:in `run' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:285:in`initialize’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:285:in `new' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:285:in`run’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:268:in `initialize' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:268:in`new’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel.rb:268:in `run' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:282:in`run’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:281:in `each' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel/configurator.rb:281:in`run’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/bin/mongrel\_rails:128:in `run' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/lib/mongrel/command.rb:212:in`run’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mswin32-60/bin/mongrel\_rails:281 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:502:in `load' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:502:in`load’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:354:in `new_constants_in' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:502:in`load’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.1.0/lib/commands/servers/mongrel.rb:64 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`require’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:509:in `require' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:354:in`new\_constants\_in’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.0/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:509:in `require' c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.1.0/lib/commands/server.rb:39 c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in`gem\_original\_require’ c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in `require' ./script/server:3 -e:2:in`load’ -e:2 Rendering c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.0/lib/action\_controller/templates/rescues/layout.erb (not\_found) Everything seems to be working fine, the profile get created and the company address gets saved but I would like to make it so that this error is not thrown. I imagine that this is a routing issue, but I honestly am not certain of that. Anyone have any ideas about what is happening and how to stop it from throwing these errors? Thanks, -S ---

Thanks, > > ## -S You probably want to let the static assets like javascript files be served directly by the front-end. For example, in the Apache configuration you could put: # These directories should always be served up by Apache, since they contain static content. Or just let rails do it. ProxyPass /images ! ProxyPass /stylesheets ! ProxyPass /javascripts ! ProxyPass /favicon.ico ! Of course, if the file javascripts/default.js doesn’t exist (which might be another reason), you just want to find and remove the: javascript\_include\_tag :defaults from your layout. If you have ‘defaults’ instead of :defaults, then just change it to a symbol and it will do the right thing. -Rob Rob B.
