All out of the sudden, even after replacing my app I get an error like:
!! Unexpected error while processing request: undefined method `show' for "/":String
I have replaced my code with a backup from a few hours earlier, I test my app continuously when I’m building new features also by opening browser and clicking true pages, the old code from backup worked flawlessly but now i cannot get my app to work anymore
help!
any more advanced ruby on rails coders can help me fix this? thx

Things tried
- Cleaned routes file
- Restarted machine
- Removed all gems from gem set and installed cleanly
- Tested another ruby on rails app wich worked fine
The solution and a lesson learned
I had a custom initializer for logging not the assets, this one messed up somehow it broke in the upgrade to latest ruby on rails version. Always check /config/ and initializers before the app code if you get this kind of strange behavior ;p
