When No Route Matches, getting list of all available routes; how to disable?

Question

I'm not a rails developer but have been asked to look into this issue. When running the rails app locally or even in production, if we use a url that doesn't match a route like:

http://somedomain.com/fjdklajflsajflsd

The rails app displays a Routing Error and then displays a very nice looking table of every available route in the application. I'm wanting to know a way to turn that off so it just displays a 404.

Answer 1

Just create file in /public directory named 404.html.erb and it will be used to display 404 errors.

If you put there file called 500.html.haml it will be used for any 500 error on your site. I am not sure will it work on development, but on production it will (atleast I use it that way)

Answer 2

I have found the issue. In production.rb this setting was not correct.

# Full error reports are disabled and caching is turned on.
config.consider_all_requests_local       = false
