For whatever reason, my routes don’t work on production.

#dev  
$ rake routes  
/:controller/service.wsdl {:action=\>“wsdl”}  
/:controller/:action/:id.:format  
/:controller/:action/:id  
/:controller/:action.:format  
/:controller.:format {:action=\>“index”}

#prod  
$ rake routes  
/:controller/service.wsdl {:action=\>“wsdl”}  
/:controller/:action/:id.:format  
/:controller/:action/:id  
/:controller/:action.:format  
/:controller.:format {:action=\>“index”}

Here is an error:

Rendering  
/home/me/test.example.net/releases/20080614073931/public/404.html  
(404 Not Found)

This happens only on production when I request  
[example.net/admin/orders](http://example.net/admin/orders) (or /admin/orders/list)
