Hi all,

I have started making a site in ruby/rails and just wondering how to set the page for the root/ dir of the site as i have got the other pages done ie:-

example/dir1 example/dir2 example/dir3 example/dir4

but just wondering how to set the example/ page as it always appears as the welcome to ruby page

any help will be great

thanks

I see 2 steps:

1) move the /public/index.html file to another name (e.g. $mv index.html index.html.ORIG)

2) add a route for '/' in config/routes.rb

  in the config/routes.rb near the the bottom of the file, but before the default routes,   do something along the lines of

  map.connect( '', :controller=>'home')

if you have a app/controllers/home_controller.rb

HTH,

Peter
