Hello there,

I am using the user and login engine in my application, and it works  
perfectly when used in ‘normal’ controllers, but when used in a  
controller  
like ‘admin/general’, it does not work properly, because when going to  
[http://localhost/3000/admin/general](http://localhost/3000/admin/general) I get the following:

Routing Error

Recognition failed for “/admin/user/login”

The admin/general\_controller.rb file looks like this:

class Admin::GeneralController \< ApplicationController  
before\_filter :login\_required

def index  
end  
End

Is there a smooth way around this without touching the original  
rails-engine  
files?

Thanks and all the best,  
-Joerg B.

It’s quite possible that the login engine is redirecting to  
:controller =\> ‘user’, rather than :controller =\> ‘/user’ (the latter  
being necessary to escape out of user modules), though you’d need to  
check the code for that.

If that’s the case, submit a ticket and it’ll get patched up forthwith.
