Unknown action: The action 'create' could not be found for RegistrationsController?

I decided to make a RegistrationsController so I can redirect the user on sign up to a specific page. Only problem is the user doesn't even get created because I get the error:

Started POST "/users" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-06-12 14:01:22 -0400

AbstractController::ActionNotFound (The action 'create' could not be found for R
egistrationsController):

My routes and controller:

devise_for :users, :controllers => { :registrations => "registrations" }
  devise_scope :user do
    get "/sign_up" => "devise/registrations#new"
    get "/login" => "devise/sessions#new"
    get "/log_out" => "devise/sessions#destroy"
    get "/account_settings" => "devise/registrations#edit"
    get "/forgot_password" => "devise/passwords#new", :as => :new_user_password
    get 'users', :to => 'pages#home', :as => :user_root
  end

class RegistrationsController < ApplicationController
  protected

  def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
    redirect_to start_path
  end

  def create # tried it with this but no luck.

  end
end

What's going on here? How is this fixed?

UPDATE

I put the create action outside of protected but now I get a Missing template registrations/create. Remove the action brings me back to Unknown action: create.

It looks like the problem is with the way you've set up your RegistrationsController. If you take a look at the Devise wiki page explaining how to do this, you'll see the following example:

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  protected

  def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
    '/an/example/path'
  end
end

Note that the RegistrationsController is inheriting from Devise::RegistrationsController rather than ApplicationController. This is done so that your custom controller is inheriting all the correct behavior from Devise, including the create action.

Your create method is protected, meaning it can't be routed to.

Move your create method out of your protected methods:

class RegistrationsController < ApplicationController

  def create

  end

  protected

  def after_sign_up_path_for(resource)
    redirect_to start_path
  end

end
