The 'No route matches...' error usually suggests that something is missing in your config/routes.rb file. At this point in the tutorial, you should have: map.resources :products somewhere in your config/routes.rb. Do you? ( This is a bit hard to diagnose, as you've noticed, because the 'resource'-style routing adds some standard mappings that aren't like the explicit /controller/action mapping you were previously introduced to. In this case, behind the scenes, the 'map.resources :products' adds a route that maps /products to ProductsController#index. You can read more about this in the Rails Routing guide [1]. It seems weird and magical at first, but it'll soon become second nature, trust me! ) Chris [1] http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#restful-routing-the-rails-default -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
