I have an app that has the following in the routes file:

namespace “admin” do  
# ADMINISTRATIVE ROUTES ONLY  
root :to =\> ‘home#index’  
resources :comments do  
member do  
get :approve  
get :reject  
end  
end  
resources :users do  
member do  
get :block  
get :unblock  
end  
end  
end

When browing to /admin locally, I am greeted by the appropriate page.  
On the same URL on the heroku version I get a 404. The route shows  
correctly in ‘heroku rake routes’

Logs are showing:

ActionController::RoutingError (wrong constant name Admin/  
homeController):  
/disk1/home/slugs/196384\_c95a9e3\_4463/mnt/.bundle/gems/gems/  
activesupport-3.0.0.beta4/lib/active\_support/inflector/methods.rb:  
103:in `const\_defined?’

Any ideas?

Anyone? From what I can see from the guides, what I am doing here is  
correct ([rails.info](http://guides.rails.info/routing.html#controller-namespaces-)  
and-routing)

Does anyone have any pointers?

I have exactly the same problem, works locally (osx) but when deployed  
to Heroku I get a similar error has Neil has detailed above

Rails 3 b4.

It seems to be dependent on the environment the application is running  
in, development seems to work, I’m seeing a routing failure locally in  
production mode the same as Neil details above and also a ‘staging’  
environment that I’m also running on Heroku

turns out to be nothing to do with Heroku…pointing the finger too  
early 🙂

Seems to be a problem with Rails 3 Namescope routes (/admin) and the  
right\_aws gem declared in both a production and staging environment in  
the Gemfile.
