Ruby on Rails

The problem is in the routes. The first match found will be what that
url is routed to, so when you declared resources :users, it defines /
users/:id to match users#show.

Try this:

Reg::Application.routes.draw do
resources :users, :except => [:show]

root :to => "users#new"

match "/users/:token" => "users#show", :via => :get
end
