Hi, -

I am trying to make the Highslide image viewer to work with with a Rails  
app and I have done everything (image tag markup, right files in right  
directories etc) according to their tutorial. However when I load the  
page with a highslide-marked-up image I get following error messages in  
the log:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches  
“/public/graphics/zoomin.cur” with {:method=\>:get}):  
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.1.1/lib/action\_controller/routing/recognition\_optimisation.rb:67:in  
`recognize\_path’

Now “/public/graphics/zoomin.cur” is a valid path to an existing file.  
I’m having a bit of trouble interpreting the error message because of  
that; is it just Rails not knowing which REST method to use while  
dealing with the path?

Many thanks,  
Vahagn
