Using an ajax helper created for use with Jquery I've created a form that posts comments to "/comments/add", and this works as expected on my local wamp server but not on my production server. On my production server I get a '404 error, cannot find /comments/add'.

I've spent quite a bit of time searching for a resolution with no luck so far. I've focused on trying to identify a gap but nothing jumps out at me.

Here are some observations:

• works as expected on local wamp server
• requestHandler is listed as component
• files on both local and production server are the same
• controllers folder has write access
• autoLayout and autoRender are both set to false

Here is the form in my view:

     <div class="comments form">
     <?php echo $ajax->form('/comments/add', 'tournament', array('url' => '/comments/add', 'update' => 'Comments', 'indicator' => 'commentSaved'));?>
         <fieldset>
             <legend><?php __('Add Comment');?></legend>
             <div id="commentSaved" style="display: none; float: right;">
                <h2>Loading...</h2>
             </div>
         <?php
             echo $form->hidden('Comment.foreign_id', array('value' => $tournament['Tournament']['id']));
             echo $form->hidden('Comment.belongs_to', array('value' => 'Tournament'));
             echo $form->input('Comment.name');
             echo $form->input('Comment.email');
             echo $form->input('Comment.web', array('value' => 'http://'));
             echo $form->input('Comment.content');
         ?>
         </fieldset>

     <?php echo $form->end('Submit');?>
     </div>

And here is my 'comment's controller add action:

function add() {
   if($this->RequestHandler->isAjax())
   {
           $this->autoLayout = false;
           $this->autoRender=false;
       $this->Comment->recursive =-1;
       $commentInfos = $this->Comment->findAllByIp($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']);
       $spam = FALSE;
       foreach($commentInfos as $commentInfo)
       {
     if ( time() - strtotime($commentInfo['Comment']['created']) < 180)
     {
         $spam = TRUE;
     }
       }

       if ($spam === FALSE)
       {

     if (!empty($this->data)) {
         $this->data['Comment']['ip'] = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
         $this->Comment->create();
         if ($this->Comment->save($this->data)) {

             $this->Comment->recursive =-1;
             $comments = $this->Comment->findAll(array('Comment.foreign_id' => $this->data['Comment']['foreign_id'], 'Comment.belongs_to' => $this->data['Comment']['belongs_to'], 'Comment.status' =>'approved'));

             $this->set(compact('comments'));
             $this->viewPath = 'elements'.DS.'posts';
             $this->render('comments');
         }
     }
       }
       else
       {
             $this->Comment->recursive =-1;
             $comments = $this->Comment->findAll(array('Comment.foreign_id' => $this->data['Comment']['foreign_id'], 'Comment.belongs_to' => $this->data['Comment']['belongs_to'], 'Comment.status' =>'approved'));
             $this->set(compact('comments'));
             $this->viewPath = 'elements'.DS.'posts';
             $this->render('spam');
       }
   }
   else
   {
       $this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid Action. Please view a post to add a comment.', true));
       $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'pages', 'action'=>'display', 'home'));
   }
     }

As you can see I've made sure that 'autoLayout' and 'autoRender' are set to false, but in Firebug I still get a 404 error stating /comments/add cannot be found on the production server.

I should also point out that I'm using jquery, jquery.form and jquery.editable as well as a ajax helper created to be used with jquery.

Any help or even suggestions about how to trouble shoot this is really appreciated.
