I believe rails pluralization rules may be getting confused here… try  
renaming your model to “ProCategory” or add:

class ProCategorie  
set\_table\_name “pro\_categories”  
end

Have you added map.resources :pro\_categories in your routes.rb file ?  
THat’s the price you must pay to be able to use this short form. If  
you have then the most likely reason is rails getting confused about  
the pluralization

thanks dear is it ok but when put on @pro\_categorie in cateadd.html.erb  
is below

### Add product category

\<% form\_for(@pro\_categorie) do |f| %\>  
\<%= f.error\_messages %\>

| Category Name : | \<%= f.text\_field :pcate\_name %\> |
| Category Description : | \<%= f.text\_field :pcate\_desc %\> |

 \<%end%\>

i got error  
Showing app/views/admins/cateadd.html.erb where line #5 raised:

undefined method `pro\_categories\_path’ for #ActionView::Base:0x4839358
