Always Not Found

Rails
1

hi!

I’m migrating to Rails 1.2.1 (from 1.1.6), but now I’m getting a 404
(Not Found) page for every url I call! Not even the error messages I got
before are shown on this page anymore. So I took a look into
development.log, but there everything is ok, WebRick sends Http 200 OK.
The routes.rb I left as the standard:
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:projectid’

And I call http://localhost:3000/project/list/1, which works, but I
don’t see the result, I get a Not Found!

Thanks for your help.

I see the same thing in 1.2.1. In firefox I see a page that says only
“You
are being redirected” with a link that points to my logon page (a
redirect_to in the code). In IE 7, I saw only 404’s. I just rolled
back
using “gem uninstall rails” and now my app is happy again.

I got to the 404 problem only after a bunch of other painful migration
work.
At first in Rails 1.2.1 on Windows, my previously working app first
would
kill the webserver unless I used config.cache_classes = false in
development.rb. No useful error messages at all. I got things running
again by removing all areas of my app (models, plugins, libs, helpers),
and
adding them in one by one (I was unsure exactly where the problem was).
The
Selenium on rails plugin seems to have been the culprit and I suspect it
is
related to the new require rules, but I haven’t nailed down the file and
line and won’t be looking at 1.2.1 again for quite some time. Once I
got
server to run, I still had the problem above.

Please let me know what you find if you resolve the 404 problem. Also,
are
you using IE or Firefox? In other words, does your experience match
mine?
Good luck!

I see the error in Firefox and IE. I’m switching the Rails version in
environment.rb with RAILS_GEM_VERSION = ‘1.2.1’, which brings up that
error. The strange thing is, the routing seems to work, because the
action is being executed. But somehow the rhtml is not being compiled,
but the 404 page.
Alright, it seems to be a common problem, so I’ll wait and use the old
version.

Did you at some point use the salted hash login generator on your app?
I
had. It uses @request which is now gone and replaced by simply
“request”.
I thought I had cleaned out all the deprecations from my code, but
apparently not. So search for all deprecated items in your code, like
@request and @session. For me, it was blowing up because I missed an
@request in user_system in the area where the redirect occured.

I also had extended kernel with a debug function of my own making. This
seemed to have been an issue for me as well. Dependencies.rb did not
seem
to like that very much. Now I seem to be running ok. Good luck!
