Hi,

I am a Newbie to Mac and Rails.

I have some rails apps made using instantrails in windows, and have  
been trying to setup a mac as a developing machine. And the transition  
has not been as smooth as I thought.

I am using Leopard and installed mac ports and Xcode.

I am getting the following errors after I browse to [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000):

I suspect the apps were developed on an earlier version of rails. Do  
you know the version of InstantRails that was used for the development?  
That would probably identify the version of ROR used.

Its also possible that your routes.rb file is not setup right. Did  
you copy over the entire rails projects tree or just the app folder?

Norm and Robokos

Thanks for your response.

I get these errors using a new test app created in the new  
installation.  
The rails version on the mac is 2.0 and on InstantRails is the same  
2.0.

I think there is something wrong with the mac installation but I don’t  
know what.

I followed this instructions and got the same errors:

Thanks again

You can also try a

rake routes \>routes.txt

to see what rails believes its routes are… well, what rails knows the  
routes are, and you can see if the two of you agree.

It looks like a routes issue. It’s trying to call a route that doesn’t  
exist:

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches “/recipe/list” with  
{:method=\>:get})

Check your route.rb file which can be found in the config directory.  
If there is a map.root declared, maybe try commenting it out and  
restarting the app and see if it makes any difference.

Paste the contents of your config/routes.rb file.

Hi John,

Here is the routes.rb file:

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|  
map.resources :alerts

# The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -\>

highest priority.

# You can have the root of your site routed by hooking up ‘’

# – just remember to delete public/index.html.

map.connect ‘’, :controller =\> ‘store’, :action =\> ‘index’

# Install the default route as the lowest priority.

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’

end

Thank you!
