I’m having some access problems, on again, off again, with access my  
web pages.

I’m using InstantRails, have generated several web projects, and for  
no reason, I start getting:

Routing Error  
No route matches “/employees” with {:method=\>:get}

It’s doing it for all projects, not just a particular one. Was  
working this morning. Nothing changed that I know of. No routing.rb  
files changed.

What can I look for to diagnose this intermittent problem? It isn’t  
localized to a specific project. I tried rebooting my machine, but  
that didn’t help, though I got an error message after getting the  
Windows screen about not finding some file called setup.exe somewhere  
down under the Instantrails directory.

Which Windows screen? What exactly is the message and at what point  
does it occur? It sounds as if you may have a problem with  
instantrails rather than your applications.
