Question

I get the following error

No route matches [POST] "/events"

with this setup:

config/routes.rb

namespace :admin do
  #...
  resources :events
  #...
end

---

(…)admin/events_controller.rb

class Admin::EventsController < Admin::AdminController
  def index
    @events = Event.all
  end

  def new
    @event = Event.new
  end

  def create
    @event = Event.new(params[:event])

    if @event.save
      redirect_to [:admin, admin_events_url]
    else
      render :action => "new"
    end
  end

  def edit
    @event = Event.find(params[:id])
  end
end

---

(…)admin/events/_form.html.erb

<%= form_for([:admin, @event]) do |f| %>

---

I can’t figure out what I am doing wrong!

Update

I get this error when I try to POST the from data while creating a new event entry

---

Update 2

The opening form tag inside events/new:

<form accept-charset="UTF-8" action="/admin/events" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="new_event" method="post">

the result of rake routes:

 admin_events GET    /admin/events(.:format)             admin/events#index
              POST   /admin/events(.:format)             admin/events#create

Navigating to /admin/events/ using GET works just fine.

Update 3

It works fine on Windows 8 x64 bit with Ruby 1.9.3, Rails 3.2 and Mongrel. It doesn’t work with Ruby 1.8.7, Rails 3.2 and Phusion Passenger on a linux server (the host).

Update 4

Oh. It appears Rails isn’t very happy if you send it a form with multipart/form-data encoding! Removing the file-upload fixed this issue.

Answer 1

For what it’s worth the only thing that looks fishy to me about your controller is your redirect. You should be able to just do:

redirect_to admin_events_path
