No route matches [POST] "/account/edit"

I works fine on my view page:

<%

   me = Users.find(session[:id])

%>
<h1>Edit account</h1>
<form action="" method="post">
 Username: <input type="text" name="username" value="<%=me[:username]%>" /> <br />
 E-mail: <input type="text" name="email" value="<%=me[:email]%>" /><br />
 <input type="submit" value="Update" />
</form>

But when i submit the forms i get No route matches [POST] "/account/edit"

My controller:

class AccountController < ApplicationController
    def edit  
        if  params[:username] 
        @out = "Hey"
    end
 end
end

In routes i tried setting this

 post "account/edit"

it did also work, but then the session does not work when it refresh, so getting this:

 Couldn't find Users without an ID

Can someone help me

EDITING old response:

I think that trying to debug what you have here is not getting anywhere. The key is there are a lot of problems with your code here and it's not clear what else you have in place that this is interacting with. If you have no other routes set and no other actions in your controller, what is the POST interacting with? Where is a create (or similar) action finding the User to get the user ID for which it's creating an account?

I think you need to run the scaffolding as a starting point 

rails g scaffold account attr1:type attr2:type etc.

This will give you something solid you can look at, customize and learn from. I encourage you to keep trying - it's clear you are wanting to learn. Good luck with that! :-)
