All, reviewing the baords and bug lists it doesn’t seem like anyone has  
encountered this problem so I was hoping someone could help me out.  
When I add the login engine to my Rails project it seems to break some  
of the routing. The easist thing to reproduce is that at  
[http://localhost:3000/index.html](http://localhost:3000/index.html) when I click ‘About your application’s  
environment’ I get a Routing Error rather than the environment info.  
Please see my reproduction steps below, I hope this is a small issue…

thanks,
