Hey ZoolWay I you shouldn't be calling find in your routes file at all. try map.connect "foo/:pageTitle", :controller => "pages", :action => "show" and then in your show action you can use: Page.find_by_pageTitle(:pageTitle) Also - I would try to stick to the convention of underscoring column names rather than camelCase.
