The error you're getting seems to suggest that rails can't find a  
route defined for a GET request to "/" which is the homepage of your  
app. I assume this is where the resful authentication plugin wants to  
redirect you after logging you in.

When you set up your routes, did you remember to put in a route for  
the homepage?

e.g. map.root :controller => "home", :action => "index"
