If I add the following code to my only controller file "user_controller.rb"

After which when i refresh the Registeration page at "http://localhost:3000/user/register" it gives me following message:
ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound in UserController#show Couldn't find User without an ID
Controllers are customarily named in the plural... UsersController, as opposed to UserController.
What does a "rake routes" report to you?
rake routes >routes.lst
Then peruse that file... You're mixing restful routes with "non-restful" ones I think, and earlier routes are evaluated before later in the routes.rb file, so your map.resources :user is probably masking the later definition for "profile".
With restful routes, you can add custom routing with:
map.resources :users, :member => {:profile => :get} (for a single user resource, there's a profile route and view, you provide the controller method, and the view)
or
map.resource :users, :collection => {:my_index => :get} (for a list of users, there's a my_index route and view, again you write the controller method and view)
or combine them (both member and collection specs).
Oh, and I think your :id => User.find(params[:id]) is simply :id => params[:id] no need for the find

Thanks for the prompt reply. I agree i am messing up somewhere with the restful routing. By the time i am playing with the custom routing you recommended, here are the things you asked.
### "rake routes" report as following:
user_index GET /user {:action=>"index", :controller=>"user"}
formatted_user_index GET /user.:format {:action=>"index", :controller=>"user"}
POST /user {:action=>"create", :controller=>"user"}
POST /user.:format {:action=>"create", :controller=>"user"}
new_user GET /user/new {:action=>"new", :controller=>"user"}
formatted_new_user GET /user/new.:format {:action=>"new", :controller=>"user"}
edit_user GET /user/:id/edit {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"user"}
formatted_edit_user GET /user/:id/edit.:format {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"user"}
user GET /user/:id {:action=>"show", :controller=>"user"}
formatted_user GET /user/:id.:format {:action=>"show", :controller=>"user"}
PUT /user/:id {:action=>"update", :controller=>"user"}
PUT /user/:id.:format {:action=>"update", :controller=>"user"} DELETE /user/:id {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"user"} DELETE /user/:id.:format {:action=>"destroy", :controller=>"user"} /:controller/:action/:id /:controller/:action/:id.:format
### and routes.rb (withoug comments) is as following:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map| map.resources :user map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' end
By the way I have issue with the register page not the profile page.
