update record with custom action and link_to

Im trying to update a single attribute on a record from a text link but I cant seem to make it work.

here is my controller action:

  def approve
    @tattoo = Tattoo.find(params[:id])
    @tattoo.upate(:status => "approved")
      respond_to do |format|
        format.js
      end
  end

my link to is:

<%= link_to "Approve", approve_admin_tattoos_path(tattoo), :remote =>true, :method => :put %>

and my route is:

match "/admin/approve/:id" => "admin#approve", :as =>"approve_admin_tattoos", :via => :post

But I keep getting this error:

I think this is something to do with routes. In your routes you have :via => :post, but in the view you have :method => :post. If you are updating, than according to the REST you should have put. You could also declare your routes as:

put "approve" => "admin#approve", :as =>"approve_admin_tattoos"

Also, I think the first slash in 'match "/admin/approve/:id"' could also be a cause for break.
