You’re riding Ruby on Rails!  
About your application’s environment  
Routing Error

No route matches “/rails/info/properties” with {:method=\>:get}

at [http://localhost:4000/](http://localhost:4000/)

What’s wrong?

May I assume that you have a controller named rails with an action  
named info?

Do the rest of the routes work in your application?

Are you testing this with the webrick server?

No, what I believe he means is that after he installed Rails, when he  
went to the main page, using port 4000 in this case ([http://localhost](http://localhost):  
4000) he clicked on link ‘About your application’s environment’ and  
got the error. The same thing happened to me after I switched from  
development to production. My application works but the link shows the  
same error described in the posting, which is a bummer because I can’t  
verify the environment anymore. I was hoping that somebody would  
answer Justin’s message so I could also benefit from it too.
