SOLVED In the /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default.conf we inserted the following
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule "^/?$" "http://ourpage.com/projects"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We installed rails on a new server. When we try access the url we get redirected to ourstuff/public which is not desired. In ourstuff there is app, config, public etc.
EDIT:
Could it be that the mod passenger does not work properly?
The following from public is displayed in the browser (see scrshot). My collegaue said its from the the documentary root from the apache config file.
public
When we try the usual url xyz.com/ourstuff like from our other systems we get this error
Routing Error
No route matches [GET] "/ourstuff"
Try running rake routes for more information on available routes.
Does anyone have an idea why this is?
Thank you in adcvance.
Have you set up your routes?
In your config/routes.rb file add:
get '/ourstuff', to: 'controller#action', as: 'ourstuff'
This means when your server receives a get request to yourapp.com/ourstuff, it will send the request to the controller and action you specify.
It's then up to you to put in the required logic in that action, and present the relevant template. See:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html
EDIT: You need to add this line inbetween:
myqpp::Application.routes.draw do
and the final
end
on its own line. i.e.
myqpp::Application.routes.draw do
root :to => 'projects#index'
get '/ourstuff', to: 'controller#action', as: 'ourstuff'
end
Once more, you will need to set up a controller, an action for that controller with the necessary logic, and a template to render at the end.

So in our Rails 4.2 application, there is the alchemy_cms gem which requires its routes to be mounted last in config/routes.rb.
SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do
#other routes for the rails app here
# :
# :
mount Alchemy::Engine => '/'
end
We get routes like "/somehacker/routingurl" which then falls out to the Alchemy::Engine to handle, resulting in a default 500 error. If I wanted to do a custom 404 error, then the proper way to do it is to build a custom 404 page and have Alchemy handle the redirect? Otherwise since the Alchemy docs specify that it has to be the last route in config/routes.rb, there won't be a way to add a catchall route to redirect to some kind of error page I assume.
EDIT:
One of the problems is that there are some routes that are like the invalid "somehacker" route above that do need to be parsed by the Alchemy routing engine, such as "/en/us" where "en" is a valid locale. This is why I initially thought to put the route handling in the Alchemy engine's routes file.
If it is difficult for you to configure and use the Alchemy cms gem to redirect unknown routes into a custom defined page, you can use the bellow method to implement the same with a small coding tweak given bellow:
Rails 4.XXX
1. First Method.
(routes.rb)
You can still use a simple get to redirect all unknown routes.
get '*path', to: 'home#index'
If you wish to provide routing to both POST and GET requests you can still use match, but Rails wants you to specify the request method via via.
match "*path" => "home#index", via: [:get, :post]
Remember that routes.rb is executed sequentially (matching the first route that fits the supplied path structure), so put wildcard catching at the bottom of your matchings.
Here you can replace the home#index with any custom path that you defined in you application, also note that it is important to keep this redirection code only at the bottom of routes.rb.
2. You can follow the bellow tutorial on the same problem in a different perspective to solve can be found.
Custom 404 error page with Rails 4
I am new in RoR. I just added a new page hello.html in public folder. When I try to load the page on browser I get following error
No route matches [GET] "/hello.html"
Try running rake routes for more information on available routes.
I found some solution so far but they don't really working for me. I tried following lines in routes.rb file
match '/hello', to: '#hello'
match 'hello', to: 'hello'
match '/hello' => '#hello', :as => 'hello'
But Im getting same error. I know that for files in public folder I don't need to add routes but Still I get the same error.
For any files added in the public folder, you don't need to add routes. If the file is available as
public/hello.html
Its accessible via localhost:3000/hello.html
Simple! No routes.
I am creating a simple suggestion box app (to learn Rails) and am getting the following Rails routing error when I go to "/suggestion-boxes" running on my local machine (localhost:3000)
"Routing Error
No route matches [GET] "/suggestion-boxes"
In my routes.rb file I have:
SuggestionBoxApp::Application.routes.draw do
resources :suggestion_boxes
end
This is what I get when I run rake routes:
suggestion-box-app$ rake routes
suggestion_boxes GET /suggestion_boxes(.:format) suggestion_boxes#index
POST /suggestion_boxes(.:format) suggestion_boxes#create
new_suggestion_box GET /suggestion_boxes/new(.:format) suggestion_boxes#new
edit_suggestion_box GET /suggestion_boxes/:id/edit(.:format) suggestion_boxes#edit
suggestion_box GET /suggestion_boxes/:id(.:format) suggestion_boxes#show
PUT /suggestion_boxes/:id(.:format) suggestion_boxes#update
DELETE /suggestion_boxes/:id(.:format) suggestion_boxes#destroy
However, if I modify my routes file to
SuggestionBoxApp::Application.routes.draw do
get "suggestion-boxes" => "suggestion_boxes#index"
end
Then the page "/suggestion-boxes" displays as per the index action in my SuggestionBoxesController.
I tried restarting my server but this had no impact. While I of course can go with using GET, this error makes no sense, and I would like understand what is causing it.
Any insights would be very much appreciated.
The error is that you are not renaming the REST route, instead the controller one.
Try declaring
resources :suggestion_boxes, :as => "suggestion-boxes"
in your config/routes.rb file.
Somewhere in your code you are calling to suggestion-boxes controller which does not exist. Your controller is suggestion_boxes, spelling. So where every you have "suggestion-boxes" you should replace with "suggestion_boxes". The code that you added create an alias that matches 'suggestion-boxes' to the index action of the suggestion_boxes controller so this resolves it if it is your desired affect. But simply fixing your spelling would resolve your problem. I usually use the second approach if I want the change the URL that user see. Have a look at the routing doc for a better understanding
I implemented a simple custom errors solution.
this one: http://ramblinglabs.com/blog/2012/01/rails-3-1-adding-custom-404-and-500-error-pages
everyhing is working fine except the missing routes in the routes.rb file..
in order to get to my error_controller when there is a missing route i did the wildcard solution: match '*not_found', to: 'errors#error_404'
but... now when i try to enter a sub section of my site which seats under:
/admin, i get to the error page. the wilcard gets triggered, even tough the route for admin section is defined in a different route file, under: config/routes/admin.rb
what can I do?
thanks
edit:
using rails 3.0.20 and ruby 1.8.7
If you're using Rails 3.2+, there is a simpler solution for your routes. First in 'config/application.rb' set your app as the error handler
config.exceptions_app = self.routes
Now when there is an your app will look to your routes to handle it. In 'config/routes.rb' you can add a route such as:
match "/404", :to => "errors#not_found"
A more verbose explanation can be found here.
OK so until I will update to Rails 3.2+
I simply put '*not_found', to: 'errors#error_404' into the last route file that is loaded.
that way its truly in the end of the routes and now all my routes work. and the error is still fired when needed.
I have some touble with redirect 301 in my new app. I have to redirect some old urls into the new one.
I entred in my routes file this
match "/traslochi_puglia/index.htm", :to => redirect("/preventivo/90-traslochi-in-puglia")
and it works fine, but I can't understand why this
match "/trasloco_casa_abitazione.htm", :to => redirect("/3-trasloco-casa")
does not work. All the old urls with this pattern "/some_path/page.htm" works fine but not "page.htm". Any hint?
Thanks
If you want us to troubleshoot the specific issue you've outlined in your question, we need to see your entire routes.rb file. Without this information, my first guess is this:
The typical route pattern is /controller/action or /controller/:id/action or some combination thereof. With the pattern you've shown above, and assuming you have no named routes in your routes.rb file, then the route you've provided would point to a controller, but not an action. Therefore your app wouldn't know what action to execute, unless you've specifically created a route called /3-trasloco-casa which looks to me more like a URL to a specific resource, than an action on a controller.
Getting to the source of routing issues can most easily be done with a combination of running rake routes at the command line (which shows you the list of route patterns your app will recognize), and then going further by troubleshooting with route recognition, as outlined in this answer to this question:
