Problem with routes.rb in rails 2.3.2

Rails

Problem with routes.rb in rails 2.3.2:

The problems occurs if the rails version is “frozen” or not. I get the
same problem when the routes are present in the routes.rb file.

In order to try to figure out the problem, I commented out all the
routes in routes.rb, so the following are the only two statements in
routes.rb:

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

end

When I run

“# rake routes –trace”

I get:
(in /home/aksrefle/aks232)
** Invoke routes (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment

Why are you even trying that? Don’t.

I get the same error on the website. This was my attempt at trying to
figure out where the problem is. At first I thought it was in
environment.rb, now I am thinking it has something to do with
routes.rb.

Given the second method down in the trace, I’d say you’ve not set the
locale on your machine. See the section on locales here:

Matt, thanks for you response.
Initially I thought the problem was with locale, but I am using the
default locale and have not changed anything in the configuration.
Eventually, I created a new rails 2.3.2 project and added my
application, one controller at a time. At each step I ran “rake
routes” and made sure it worked. I must have run a hundred “rake
routes” (well, maybe twenty) and eventually I had almost the whole
application working. I finally ran into the problem again when I moved
into the views/layouts directory a layout erb file that had no
corresponding controller and views with the same name. As soon as I
deleted the “extra” layouts, it worked again. I am not sure if this
was the root cause, but my application is now working under rails
2.3.2.
