I’m at the point in this exercise where I can create a user (name, email, password, password-conf), but when I submit that form, I get the following error:

ActionController::MethodNotAllowed
Only get, head, post, put, and delete requests are allowed.
RAILS_Root: /usr/local/exercisr
Headers:
(“cookie”=>[], “Cache-Control”=>”no-cache”, “Allow”=>”GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE”}

As far as I can tell, there is a problem with the welcome path, but I can’t figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Here are the contents of my files:
.../config/routes.rb:

1. See ActionController::RequestForgeryProtection for details
2. Uncomment the :secret if you’re not using the cookie session store protect_from_forgery # :secret => ‘c3f7d2ecee34d3b3ff8e9117984956ee’
   end

Welcome to Exercisr

A RESTful place to keep track of your workouts

UPDATE: I finally figured it out. I had to move the map.welcome line to after map.logout. I don’t at all understand why, but it works at least.

Hi theelbster,

What did your routes look like before? and after?

Hi Eldon,

It looks like copy/paste turned out horribly here. Also, I should mention that there may be version conflicts (btw the version written about in your book and the one I’m actually using) at play here.
I’m using OSX 10.4.11
ruby -v => ruby 1.8.6
rails -v => Rails 2.1.0

Routes.rb before:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :exercisers
map.home ’’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘new’
map.resources :users, :sessions
map.welcome ’/welcome’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘welcome’
map.signup ’/signup’, :controller => ‘users’, :action => ‘new’
map.login ’/login’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘create’
map.logout ’/logout’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘destroy’
map.connect ’:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ’:controller/:action/:id.:format’
end

routes.rb after:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.resources :exercisers
map.home ’’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘new’
map.resources :users, :sessions
map.signup ’/signup’, :controller => ‘users’, :action => ‘new’
map.login ’/login’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘create’
map.logout ’/logout’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘destroy’
map.welcome ’/welcome’, :controller => ‘sessions’, :action => ‘welcome’
map.connect ’:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ’:controller/:action/:id.:format’
end
