Hey folks,

I’m using Windows XP, InstantRails 1.4, Rails 1.1.6, RadRails and  
Mongrel.

Everything is set up fine and works (at least for my usual RoR-stuff),  
but trying to run the example “Intranet” from the book “Ajax on Rails” -  
O’Reilly (Linkt to book:  
[http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596527440/index.html](http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596527440/index.html), Example as  
.zip-file: [examples / Ajax on Rails · GitLab](http://examples.oreilly.com/9780596527440/)) - i get a  
mongrel-error concerning the routes.rb file:

from -e:3

The /config/routes.rb:  
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|

# A resource for each post type

map.resources :messages, :plans, :documents, :projects, :contacts,  
:member =\> { :download =\> :get }

# A comments resource under every post type; e.g., /messages/comments

and /documents/comments  
map.resources :comments, :path\_prefix =\> “/:post\_type/:post\_id”

# User and session resources

map.resources :sessions  
map.resources :users, :collection =\> { :statuses =\> :get }, :member =\>  
{ :status =\> :any }

# Home and default routes

map.home ‘’, :controller =\> ‘messages’, :action =\> ‘home’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’

end

* * *

To me this seems like some issue of using the REST-ful-Link-engine  
properly, but unfortunately I’m not yet firm with that concept and hope,  
somebody has already fixed this issue or knows a workaround to get the  
“intranet” going.

Thanks a lot !

You’ll need to go up to Rails 1.2 to run this code. The resources  
method was introduced in 1.2.
