Rails - May 2006 - Ruby on Rails w/Dreamhost - routes problem...I think.

I am trying to deploy my first app on Dreamhost using Ruby on Rails.  I 
followed the wiki, but I think I am missing something.  I think it may 
be in my RoR code, but I am not sure.

My app runs fine when run as 
http://localhost:3000/AddPatientVisit/addvisits

AddPatientVisit is the controller and addvisits is the form that posts 
back to the controller.

I got rid of the index.html in public (it did get served up before I 
deleted it).

I think my route is wrong, but I don''t know how to direct it to the
page
above.  I should point out that my controller doesn''t have an index 
method, just an action that is called by the addvisits.rhtml when the 
user hits the "submit" button.

Here is my route:
map.connect '''', :controller => "AddPatientVisit"

I am very much a noob at this, so thank you for your help!

try map.connect '''', :controller =>
"AddPatientVisit", :action    =>
''addvisits''

It looks to me like you''ll need

map.connext '''', :controller => "AddPatientVisit",
:action => "addvisits"

Thank you for the reply.  I will try that.  I was thinking the action 
had to be a method.  The controller has a method called 
addvisit(singular) that I made part of the route originally.  All that 
did was run w/o any parameters passed to it.

I post back here with my results.

I tried that, but to no avail.  Instead I put my "addvisits" code into
an index.html file in the add_patient_visit folder in the app/views.

Now the appropriate page shows up, but when I click the submit button, 
it can''t find the action addptvisit

This setup works fine in webrick, so I am thinking it''s a route problem
again?!?

Thanks!

Correction:  The method in my controller that I need invoked is 
''addvisit''

Have you setup your form tag properly?

<%= start_form_tag :controller => "AddPatientVisit", :action
=>
"addvisits" %>

Hi Hates_,

Thank you for the reply.  I used the code below, which works in 
development, but I will try what you are suggesting.  Thanks!

<form name="myform" action="addvisit"
method="post">

   Patient #1<%= check_box("patient", ''1'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>
   Patient #2<%= check_box("patient", ''2'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>
   Patient #4<%= check_box("patient", ''4'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>
   Patient #8<%= check_box("patient", ''8'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>
   Patient #9<%= check_box("patient", ''9'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>

</br>

<input type="submit" value="Add Visits">

</form>

Do these tags go outside or inside my <form>...</form> html tags?

Thanks!

I used the code below, which works fine in WEBrick, but give me an 
application error when moved to the webserver.


<html>

<head>


</br>

</head>
<body>
</br>




<%= form_tag(:controller => "AddPatientVisit", :action =>
''addvisit'') %>

   Patient #1<%= check_box("patient", ''1'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>
   Patient #2<%= check_box("patient", ''2'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>
   Patient #4<%= check_box("patient", ''4'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>
   Patient #8<%= check_box("patient", ''8'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>
   Patient #9<%= check_box("patient", ''9'',
{:checked => ''checked''},
"yes") %></br>

</br>

<%= submit_tag("Add Visits") %>

<%= end_form_tag %>




</body>

</html>

I hope you mean <br />, </br> isn''t valid, and no form of

An error. Good. _WHICH_ error? Copy/paste it. If there''s just
''500
internal server error'' find the logs, they''re in your rails  
application, check production.log.
