Rails: redirect all unknown routes to root_url
If your project is powered by rails 3, add simply this line to your routes.rb
match '*path' => redirect('/')Edit: If you're on Rails 4 or 5
match '*path' => redirect('/'), via: :getor
get '*path' => redirect('/')
Like the answer by Arkan. One point, if do not want this behaviour in development environment, then could do -
match '*path' => redirect('/') unless Rails.env.development?
Rails 4-
(routes.rb)
You can still use a simple get to redirect all unknown routes.
get '*path', to: 'home#index'If you wish to provide routing to both POST and GET requests you can still use match, but Rails wants you to specify the request method via via.
match "*path" => "home#index", via: [:get, :post] Remember that routes.rb is executed sequentially (matching the first route that fits the supplied path structure), so put wildcard catching at the bottom of your matchings.
