I'm kinda new to RoR and I wondered how do I define which controller and action is run by default when you point the browser to the application address (ie not specifying a controller name)?
Look at config/routes.rb
Near the top you'll see something like this:
# You can have the root of your site routed by hooking up '' # -- just remember to delete public/index.html. map.connect '', :controller => "home"
I think the default controller is named 'welcome' and it's all commented out, but there you go.
