map.connect '' doesn't work

Hi, got a problem with the map.connect '' in my website (I don't know much of routes as I never really checked it). Ok so I just want to redirect automaticaly the users to my index page when they get to the site. So the idea is that using the address "http://localhost:3000" using a route the user get to "http:// localhost:3000/dentistManager".

In my routes.rb I added: map.connect '', :controller => 'dentistmanager', :action => "index"

So it looks like that: ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|   map.resources :consultations

  map.resources :patients

  map.resources :doctors

  map.resources :appointments

  map.connect '', :controller => 'dentistmanager', :action => "index"   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' end

What am I doing wrong?

Change to:

map.root :controller => 'dentistmanager', :action => "index"
