Routing Error - Rails 3 - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am getting the following error on my app when I try to access /messages/new:
No route matches [GET] "/messages/new"
If I try adding a /messages/new route to config.rb, I get the following error:
No route matches {:controller=>"messages"}
The app itself is like Gumtree.com, where Users come and create Posts (e.g. selling my car), and people respond my sending them Messages (through the Simple Pvt Messages plugin).
Any insights on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Replace your route file with this you are defining resource message inside users and also twice.
Mysalary::Application.routes.draw do
resources :messages do
collection do
post :delete_selected
end
end
resources :users
resources :profiles
resources :pages
resources :posts
get "pages/home"
get "pages/about"
get "pages/legal"
get "pages/feedback"
root :to => 'posts#new'
end
Try it...
