I have created new rails-project.  
I start Mongrel.

I add to project:

## app/controllers/my\_first\_controller.rb

class MyFirstController \< ApplicationController  
def index  
render :text =\> ‘My First Controller’  
end  
end

[http://192.168.1.1:8080/my\_first/](http://192.168.1.1:8080/my_first/) → all OK!

Then, I add:

## app/controllers/my\_second\_controller.rb

class MySecondController \< ApplicationController  
def index  
render :text =\> ‘My Second Controller’  
end  
end

I open:  
[http://192.168.1.1:8080/my\_second/](http://192.168.1.1:8080/my_second/)

And I have error:  
No route matches “/my\_second/” with {:method=\>:get}

Why?

P.S.: Tested under Mongrel, Thin, Passenger, fastcgi

I guess you need to restart your server 😉

But I write not new route. I write new controller.

routes.rb is cached for performance reasons, this might be the  
problem…

Do you restart your project when you added the “my\_second\_controller” ?

The Route will be initialized at start.
