I'm relatively new to Rails, so the solution to this might be more trivial than I think However, I am working on an app, and everything was working fine until just recently. The problem is I'm not sure *when* I might have screwed up, hence my not knowing where the problem lies.
I'm running Rails 2.1.2
All routes in routes.rb were working fine, but for some reason, a few stopped working. Here is my routes code:

do you have any error-messages? what did you call? what do you get?
Thanks for the reply. This is what's in the log:

The others are similar. I've been trying out different plugins as well. Could that have caused this problem? Thanks.
Well I'm a RoR newbie but what I see is the following:
1) Error Message: somebody called /site/signup (right?) but your controller (site) doesn't have such an action. Here your would have to define one. The actions you have definied in your site controller are - new - show - update - create - edit
2) Routes But you route signup the following way map.signup '/signup', :controller => 'users', :action => 'new'
It seems to me that there is some inconsistency.
I hope I was some help 
This is the users controller that I included on the last post, not the site controller. However, the site controller is as follows:
class SiteController < ApplicationController caches_page :terms_of_service, :privacy_policy, :about, :custom404 before_filter :login_from_cookie
def index # If a user is logged in, only show questions they haven't answered
if logged_in? @questions = Question.paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 20, :conditions => ["NOT EXISTS (SELECT id FROM replies WHERE (replies.user_id = ?) AND (replies.question_id = questions.id))", current_user.id], :include => :user, :order => 'questions.created_at DESC') else @questions = Question.paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 15, :include => :user, :order => 'questions.created_at DESC') end
respond_to do |format| format.html end end
def terms_of_service respond_to do |format| format.html end end
def privacy_policy respond_to do |format| format.html end end
def about respond_to do |format| format.html end end
def custom404 render :partial => "custom404", :layout => "application", :status => "404" end end
Problem solved, I'm just an idiot
