having profile page problem(can someone help please)

Well this is the problem when I try and run localhost:3000/robertborsey I get this message The page you were looking for doesn't exist. You may have mistyped the address or the page may have moved. This is coming out of my public 404.html file

I believe that my if statement is not executing so its executing my else statement.

This is my profiles_controller.rb file

            class ProfilesController < ApplicationController
               def show
            @user = User.find_by_profile_name(params[:id])
          if @user
           @statuses = @user.statuses.all
            render action: :show
        else
            render file: 'public/404', status: 404, formats: [:html]
        end
         end
      end

This is my routes.rb file

             Treebook::Application.routes.draw do
               get "profiles/show"

               devise_for :views

               devise_for :users

               devise_scope :user do
                 get 'register' , to: 'devise/registrations#new' , as: :register
                  get 'login' , to: 'devise/sessions#new' , as: :login
                   get 'logout' , to: 'devise/sessions#destroy' , as: :logout
                end

                  resources :statuses
                  get 'feed', to: 'statuses#index', as: :feed
                  root to: 'statuses#index'

                  get '/:id', to: 'profiles#show' #This was put in as well.

This is my show.htmlerb file

                     <div class="page-header">
                   <h1><%= @user.full_name %></h1>
                      </div>

                     <% if @statuses %>
                         <% @statuses.each do |status| %>
                          <div class="well">
                       <%= status.content %>
                        <hr />
                        <%= link_to time_ago_in_words(status.created_at), status_path(status) %> ago
                         </div>
                     <% end %>
                 <% end %>

If someone sees something wrong or can help solve this problem I would appreciate it very much. Thank you in advance

Hi Robert,

I had the same problem. I deleted all of the users and comments on the site and created new ones. The problem disappeared.
