Almir Santos this may be some configuration problem of your old application, to run your application and find out where the problem is you can follow these steps below:

Note: ensure that you are using some version control system to be able to compare changes and keep everything that is required for your application to run.

Run the rake::task update with the command:
- Rails app:update and allow the task to override anything you ask for.
Check the changes and change only what is required.
- if you’re using git, you can run git diff .
Try running the application with as few changes as possible to locate exactly where the configuration problem is.

I think that might solve your problem. Let me know if you have a problem during this process.

You have a call direct in your file config/routes.rb which is not allowed, being inside a namespace or scope.

Is in the documentation:

NOTE: The direct method can’t be used Inside of a Scope block such as namespace or Scope and will raise an error if it detects that it is.

To solve this, you can create a controller to route it, or take it from scope or of namespace.
