Hi,

My controller code is,

class MyController \< ApplicationController &nbsp;&nbsp;def my\_method &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;puts "Inside my method" &nbsp;&nbsp;end end

In my routes.rb: map.resources :my\_controller, :collections =\> {:my\_method =\> :post}

I have implemented the user authentication also. After login, when I try to access the URL '[http://localhost:3000/my\_controller/my\_method](http://localhost:3000/my_controller/my_method)’ it shows the following error.

Unknown action No action responded to show

This is because GET request is sent to the controller. It must be POST. How can I make the method as POST?

Thanks in advance...

Solved the problem. I had made a mistake in passing URL.

The URL should be '[http://localhost:3000/my\_controller/my\_method/1](http://localhost:3000/my_controller/my_method/1)’.
