Rails 2.0 : handling routing error (Was: fallback to a default controller action)

Rails 2.0 has a much nicer way of dealing with this, since you can do

class PostsController < ApplicationController     rescue_from FooError, :with => :foo_handler

    protected       def foo_handler       end end

I am trying to use this to display the 404 HTML file in case of routing error :

rescue_from ActionController::RoutingError, :with => :show_404

But it never gets called, and I still get a :

  No route matches "/foo" with {:method=>:get}     vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/routing.rb:1411:in `recognize_path'     (...)

Any idea ? I am in production environment.

Where have you put your rescue_from ? I haven't used this much, but I'd guess that you'd have to have this in application.rb for this to even stand a chance of working for a routing error.

I did put it in application.rb, but it doesn't work :frowning:
