Problems with devise

I can't seem to get devise to work for me. I followed the tutorial to a tee and it doesn't work. After i install devise i get this in my routes.rb file "devise_for :users". When that is in the file the site doesn't work. However, when i take out "devise_for :users" the site works again but i can't access the registration page or any other login pages. Any idea? I really need help...

Have you tried running 

rake routes

in your terminal to see what routes you have available after installing devise?

Also have you set a root path in your routes.rb file??

Seems to working all of the sudden... i didn't have my mamp server running, could that have been the issue?

If that is what your using to rub your rails server then yes.You need that or Webrick, if your using that, to rub your rails app

The rest of the site worked without mamp. But i am not sure what webrick is so i can't answer that..

WEBrick is a low level web server that runs Rails, I believe that it's the default server. Although I think you can also use MAMP for running Rails as well, usually when you type in

rails server

You will see the name of the server you are running as the first line that comes up in your terminal. If you're not sure what server your using I'll go out on a limb and say that you are using WEBrick because that is what comes with Rails, so to answer you question, I'm not really sure what MAMP has to do with you running devise. I leave it someone smarter than I.

I don't think mamp has anything to do with my issue i was having, i don't even have localhost in my url. I shut my computer down for awhile, but other than that, i really didn't do anything different? I am at a loss for words right now.
