Hi,

My controller code is,

class MyController \< ApplicationController  
def my\_method  
puts “Inside my method”  
end  
end

In my routes.rb:  
map.resources :my\_controller, :collections =\> {:my\_method =\> :post}

I have implemented the user authentication also. After login, when I try  
to access the URL ‘[http://localhost:3000/my\_controller/my\_method](http://localhost:3000/my_controller/my_method)’ it  
shows the following error.

Unknown action  
No action responded to show

This is because GET request is sent to the controller. It must be POST.  
How can I make the method as POST?

Thanks in advance…

Solved the problem. I had made a mistake in passing URL.

The URL should be ‘[http://localhost:3000/my\_controller/my\_method/1](http://localhost:3000/my_controller/my_method/1)’.
