Not sure fullyy understanding your problem, but if you're not using resource based approach, you need to define specifc routes in your config/routes.rb to hook up the url used in your form and how it's routed to a controller's method. Usually any errors/message shown in the debug or script/server console messages should help you see the request url posted by your form and if it's understood by the routes.
