The controller has a before_filter :authenticate_user! commenting this, allows the page to work.

What might be wrong here?

I have tried destroying all devise installs by doing

rails d devise user
rails d devise:views
rails d devise:install

and then re installing devise, it did not help. Any ideas?

    The issue was that mongod was not running. For some reason instead of throwing a not able to connect message, rails now throws this.
