"Find me in app/views/hello/index.rhtml" loads, but no such file

I'm following <http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Tutorial&gt;

<http://localhost:3000/hello&gt; gives: "Hello#index

Find me in app/views/hello/index.rhtml"

which is the expected output. What's not expected is:

[thufir@localhost dummy]$ [thufir@localhost dummy]$ [thufir@localhost dummy]$ cat /home/thufir/dummy/views/hello/world.rhtml aaaaaaargh [thufir@localhost dummy]$ [thufir@localhost dummy]$ ll /home/thufir/dummy/views/hello/ total 8 -rw-rw-r-- 1 thufir thufir 11 May 16 19:34 world.rhtml [thufir@localhost dummy]$ [thufir@localhost dummy]$ ll /home/thufir/dummy/views/ total 8 drwxrwxr-x 2 thufir thufir 4096 May 16 19:29 hello [thufir@localhost dummy]$ [thufir@localhost dummy]$ date Thu May 17 05:51:41 BST 2007 [thufir@localhost dummy]$ [thufir@localhost dummy]$

so, where's this file "index.rhtml" at then, please?

thanks,

If I have to create it, then it's not to be found until I create it. no?

Hope no one minds the long post, but I'm getting a bit more comfortable with stuff, so here's where I'm at now, I got the "hello world" text to show the way I want. Googling on how to do a query (view?) of the database now :slight_smile:

Heh, just added the scaffold line, ruby /home/thufir/dummy/script/generate scaffold dummy

to the bash script so now <http://localhost:3000/dummies/list&gt; loads :slight_smile:

I'm trying to get this working with a legacy database, so am a bit torn as to whether to continue with dummies or try working with a copy of the real database. Hmm, the scaffold seems so powerful that I think I'll start working on a scaffold for the legacy database.

Just like the message tells you:

"Hello#index

Find me in app/views/hello/index.rhtml"

you will find it in “app/views/hello/index.rhtml” below your application root.
