I'm new in RoR:)
I have controller and view (/app/controllers/greeting_controller.rb and /app/views/greeting/index.rhtml /.erb/.html.erb - doesn't match).
greeting_controller.rb source:
class GreetingController < ApplicationController def index @message = "Hello world!" end end
index.rhtml source:
<html> <head><title>test</title></head> <body> <p><%= @message %></p> </body> </html>
and html output is exact copy of index.rhtml
* i'm working on macOS 10.6.4

You don't say which version of Rails you are using, so I will assume 2.x. If 1.x or 3.x, ignore this reply.
greeting_controller.rb and index.rhtml look fine. But they are not following Rails naming conventions, controller names are plural, i.e., greetings_controller.rb and /app/views/greetings/. index.rhtml is old style naming, preferred current practice is index.html.erb. These two changes may be enough to solve your problem.
I don't understand the last bit of the sentence above. Please expand what you mean by "/.erb/.html.erb - doesn't match". Do you mean that /app/view/greeting/index.erb and /app/view/greeting/index.html.erb are ignored by the template engine?
HTH, Jeffrey
rename /app/views/greeting/index.rhtml to ...../index.html.erb
I don’t understand the last bit of the sentence above. Please expand what you
mean by “/.erb/.html.erb - doesn’t match”. Do you mean that /app/view/greeting/index.erb and /app/view/greeting/index.html.erb are ignored by the template engine?
Yes!
It doesn’t make sense.
I’m using 2.x version.
Now controller name is Greetings, and view file name is index.html.erb
But the problem hasn’t been solved

Please tell us the current filenames and contents again to make sure of what you have done. Have you removed all the old files? Rails has a habit of loading files that you have left lying around by accident. What exactly is the symptom now seen?

Could you avoid top posting please, it makes it more difficult to follow the thread.
What do you see in development.log?
Which version of rails are you using? You said 2.x but that covers a lot of versions.
Colin
i’m using last version from rubyonrails.org

I am out of ideas as to why the erb code is not being interpreted. Anyone else?

no
WTF?!
may be something wrong with macos 10.6.4 and current version of RoR?
Random guess: a stray invisible character somewhere in the file.
Fred
What do you mean by "current"? 2.3.8, 3.0beta -- which is it?
Do you have a small test case you can post somewhere?
FWIW, I'm running 2.3.8 at the moment on Mac OS 10.6.4 with no
problems. Other than self-inflicted ones, of course
i’m using 1.3.7
That seems unlikely - there never was a version 1.3.x of rails (perhaps you've reported the version number of rubygems itself?)
Fred
can you dump the output you get after executing script/about in the thread.
