hi all

If I add in my code redirect_to :action => 'index' it redicrects to the index method in the current controller.

how can I redirect it to the index.html page ?

thanks

Hi Pepe, You should do the following:

redirect_to :controller => "index", :action => 'index'

Good luck,

Pepe,

Take a look at the API, you can redirect to an action, URL or plain text.

I'm having a similar problem that none of these solutions will work for. I understand you can redirect to a URL, the problem is - while I'm developing my app I want to redirect to 'http://127.0.0.1:3000'but after I deploy it I want it to redirect to something like 'http://app.somedomain.com'. Is there a constant similar to 'RAILS_ROOT' that I can use?

is redirect_to '/' good enough ? (or are you redirecting to a different domain to the one you received the request on ?)
