Well, let's think about this. The path is '/redirect' followed by the URL to redirect to. That means that we can express it as '/redirect/:url'. The controller is redirect, and the action is index. And let's give the route the name of redirect. Put that all together and you get map.redirect '/redirect/:url', :controller => 'redirect', :action => 'index' Does that make sense? > I tried reading > http://darynholmes.wordpress.com/2008/03/15/beginners-tutorial-routing-in-rails-20-with-rest-part-1-of-n/ > to find out, and while I thought it was a great tutorial, it did not > seem to be getting to my problem quickly enough.
