I’m trying to follow the rails getting started guide http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html to create a blog for a small website i’ve developed in rails
I’ve read many similar questions on SO but i’m still not able to figure out why i keep getting the error The action 'show' could not be found for CommentsController error when trying to destroy a comment as done in the guide.
Here’s my link in my html.erb code:
<%= link_to 'Destroy Comment', [comment.post, comment], :confirm => 'Are you sure you want to delete?', :method => :delete %>
My template header has these lines
<%= csrf_meta_tag %>
<%= javascript_include_tag "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js", "rails", "superfish", "jquery.quicksand", 'slides.min.jquery' %>
My gemfile contains this:
gem 'jquery-rails'
I’ve also noticed that when i load the page with the destroy comment link on it, there is this error in the firebug console:
"NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost:3000/assets/rails.js"
Any help on figuring out this issue is appreciated. Let me know if you want anything else posted.

Was there a reason that you got rid of the javascript include in the tutorial? (not a snarky question – just curious). Try adding this line to
app/views/layouts/application.html.erb.:<%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>The problem you are having really smells like the javascript function that fakes sending a DELETE request is missing/malfunctioning.
