Undefined sign_up method for Michael Hartl: Exercise 5

I am unable to move to the signup page after clicking "Sign Up Now" in home page. I have gone through stack-overflow but none of them solve the problem. Here are my codes:

Routes.rb

get "users/new"
root :to => 'static_pages#home'

  match '/static_pages/home', :to => 'static_pages#home'
  match '/static_pages/help', :to => 'static_pages#help'
  match '/static_pages/about', :to => 'static_pages#about'
  match '/static_pages/contact', :to => 'static_pages#contact'
  match '/users/new', :to => 'users#new'

home.html.erb

<div class="center hero-unit">
  <h1>Welcome to the Sample App</h1>

  <h2>
    This is the home page for the
    <a href="http://railstutorial.org/">Ruby on Rails Tutorial</a>
    sample application.
  </h2>

  <%= link_to "Sign up now!", "signup_path", class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
</div>

<%= link_to image_tag("rails.png", alt: "Rails"), 'http://rubyonrails.org/' %>

header.html.erb

<header class="navbar navbar-fixed-top navbar-inverse">
  <div class="navbar-inner">
    <div class="container">
      <%= link_to "sample app", root_path, id: "logo" %>
      <nav>
        <ul class="nav pull-right">
          <li><%= link_to "Home", 'home' %></li>
          <li><%= link_to "Help", 'help' %></li>
          <li><%= link_to "Sign in", 'new' %></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </div>
  </div>
</header>

users_controller.rb

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  def new
  end
end

I am stuck on this for long and unable to find the solution for this.

I guess you would like to use

match '/users/new', :to => 'users#new'

as the signup route. You could specify this with the :as parameter like this:

match '/users/new', :to => 'users#new', :as => 'signup'

which will give you the correct signup_path.

Note that per the Rails routing docs you should now use get or post instead of match or specify :via => [:post] to disallow additional query parameters. Btw: your signup should be a :post as it attempts to change the state of the server.

match '/signup',  to: 'users#new'

This worked fine for me and I don't know how I missed that

EDIT: Try adding this to your routes.rb

match '/signup',  to: 'users#new',            via: 'get'
