Hello,

```
We had a problem with a URL being parsed wrong by the routing

```

module of Ruby on Rails for the controllers stored in a folder: admin/

```
Instead of having

```

Parameters: {“action”=\>“update\_options”, “controller”=\>“admin/  
venues”

```
we got

```

Parameters: {“action”=\>“venues”, “id”=\>“update\_options”,  
“controller”=\>“admin”

```
Causing a:

```

ActionController::UnknownAction (No action responded to venues):

```
Exception.

We tested it a lot of boxes, the problem was happening only in one

```

server. The only difference we found was the server having Ruby 1.8.5  
instead of Ruby 1.8.6, we upgraded the Ruby version in the server and  
it started working without problem.

```
Rails Version: 1.2.5
SO: Debian Etch

```

Was the controller called something like Admin::Controller or just  
Controller?
