Hi!

I have just added login feature to my rails application (followed the  
instruction from (Agile Web D. with Rails) but now I am getting  
strange errors (looks to me like some kind of routing problem) under the  
passenger/apache.

The error is:  
500 Internal Server Error  
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was  
unable to complete your request.

From the log:

e[4;36;1mSQL (0.3ms)e[0m e[0;1mSET SQL\_AUTO\_IS\_NULL=0e[0m

Processing **Controller#index (for 192.168.1.101 at 2010-04-26

Does anybody has any suggestion what I could do?

Just want to add appache log:

[error] [client 192.168.1.101] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal  
redirects due to probable configuration error. Use  
‘LimitInternalRecursion’ to increase the limit if necessary. Use  
‘LogLevel debug’ to get a backtrace.

“LogLevel debug” didn’t produce any more information.

It is definitely routing problem.  
I could partially solve the problem by adding this:

map.connect ‘login’, :controller =\> ‘login’, :action =\> “login\_page”  
map.connect ‘login/list\_users’, :controller =\> “login”, :action =\>  
“list\_users”  
map.connect ‘login/add\_user’, :controller =\> “login”, :action =\>  
“add\_user”  
map.connect ‘login/logout’, :controller =\> “login”, :action =\>  
“logout”

to the routes.rb and just first line is working.  
So redirecting to the /login or typing it directly gives login\_page  
action from the login controller.  
The remaining problem is that I still can’t use any action directly like  
/login/list\_users or even /login/login\_page.
