Hello,

I’m having some trouble handing ActionController::MethodNotAllowed  
errors. Basically, the following is defined in my controllers, but  
obviously I’m missing something. Thanks in advance for any light you  
can shed.

* * *

class UsersController \< ApplicationController  
rescue\_from ActionController::MethodNotAllowed, :with  
=\> :not\_allowed

def not\_allowed  
flash[:message] = “The action you requested is not supported.”  
redirect\_to welcome\_path  
end

By the way, the trouble I’m having is that the error is not being  
handled by ‘not\_allowed’… 🙂

I have used rescue\_from and this looks fine to me.

But twist in the tale I found while googling for the same.  
I think you are looking for this:

Though I think Pratik has solved this issue:

may be helpful for you
