I have one record in a database that is encountering a redirect loop. When I point my browser to “[www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case\_studies/1](http://www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case_studies/1)”, it displays a redirect loop error message. When I point my browser to “[www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case\_studies/2](http://www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case_studies/2)”, it does not. Now, when I point my browser to “[www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case\_studies/show/1](http://www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case_studies/show/1)”, no error occurs and the page is displayed exactly as it should. Also, when I point my browser to “[www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case\_studies/show/2](http://www.sitenamehere.co.uk/case_studies/show/2)”, no error occurs and the page is displayed exactly as it should. What is the problem here? My routes are set up correctly when I review the output of rake routes. If there’s any code you need, please ask. However, I assume someone has encountered this before. ---

That depends on how your routes are set up. ## Best, Marnen Laibow-Koser [http://www.marnen.org](http://www.marnen.org) removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid
