Devise 404 errors on production server, No route matches {:controller=>"devise/home"}

Question

I'm getting devise 404 errors on a production server, both for get requests to /users/sign_in and its "link_to" equivalent. If I copy development.rb to production.rb, I get the error:

No route matches {:controller=>"devise/home"}

This:

• Works on my development box.

• Doesn't work on the production box using either webbrick or passenger.

All other routes are working OK, but the devise routes are not. I think I've read every stackoverflow and other google-fu link I can find twice, but no luck so far.

"Rake routes" output is below. If I try the route that /users/sign_in GET resolves to, (i.e., devise/sessions#new), I get the error: No route matches [GET] "/devise/sessions"

None of the following work:

link_to('Login / Register', new_user_session_path) link_to('Login / Regsiter', :controller => "devise/sessions", :action => "new") link_to('Login / Regsiter', :controller => "/devise/sessions", :action => "new") link_to('Login / Register', '/users/sign_up')

I've seen some references to scoping issues, but I'll be darned if that makes any sense to me given the symptoms. I'm completely stumped on this one. Any ideas?

Answer 1

The answer -- turn on config.log_level = :debug in productiono.rb, then work from there. Indeed, I had to add a leading forward slash to controller names starting with "home" in some of my layout partials.
