I see the same thing in 1.2.1. In firefox I see a page that says only “You are being redirected” with a link that points to my logon page (a redirect_to in the code). In IE 7, I saw only 404’s. I just rolled back using “gem uninstall rails” and now my app is happy again.

I got to the 404 problem only after a bunch of other painful migration work. At first in Rails 1.2.1 on Windows, my previously working app first would kill the webserver unless I used config.cache_classes = false in development.rb. No useful error messages at all. I got things running again by removing all areas of my app (models, plugins, libs, helpers), and adding them in one by one (I was unsure exactly where the problem was). The Selenium on rails plugin seems to have been the culprit and I suspect it is related to the new require rules, but I haven’t nailed down the file and line and won’t be looking at 1.2.1 again for quite some time. Once I got server to run, I still had the problem above.

Please let me know what you find if you resolve the 404 problem. Also, are you using IE or Firefox? In other words, does your experience match mine? Good luck!

Did you at some point use the salted hash login generator on your app? I had. It uses @request which is now gone and replaced by simply “request”. I thought I had cleaned out all the deprecations from my code, but apparently not. So search for all deprecated items in your code, like @request and @session. For me, it was blowing up because I missed an @request in user_system in the area where the redirect occured.

I also had extended kernel with a debug function of my own making. This seemed to have been an issue for me as well. Dependencies.rb did not seem to like that very much. Now I seem to be running ok. Good luck!
