routing error in application

I've got the following routes.rb

resources :api_users, :as => :users

get '/:controller(/:action(/:id))'
post "/:controller(/:action(/:id))"
get '/' => 'startsites#startsite'

I call the following action in application_controller.rb:

  def change_locale
     if Settings.language_supported?(params[:locale])
     session[:locale] = params[:locale]
     I18n.locale = params[:locale]
  end


  case params[:goto]
    when "user"
       if current_user.nil?
          redirect_to :action => :home
       else
         redirect_to :controller => :users
       end
     when "lecturer"
        if current_user.nil?
           redirect_to :action => :home
        else
          redirect_to :controller => :lecturers
        end
      else
      redirect_to :startsites => :startsite
    end
  end

and I got this error:

No route matches [GET] "/settings/change_locale"

how can I solve this?

The first path "/settings" assumes that there is settings controller and second looks for settings controller action i.e. change_locale. You are defining change_locale in applicationcontroller and sending a get request to settings controller which is not defined. Therefore the error occur No route matches [GET] "/settings/change_locale"

This could be a solution

class SettingsController < ApplicationController
  def change_locale
    if Settings.language_supported?(params[:locale])
    session[:locale] = params[:locale]
    I18n.locale = params[:locale]
  end
end

And in route file

get '/settings/change_locale'

You just need to define the SettingsController:

class SettingsController < ApplicationController
  def change_locale
    render text: 'it should be ok now'
  end
end

It can't be just a method in the ApplicationController.
