[Newbie question] How does map.root?

Hello, I am very ill and I don't remember how does map.root.

I have this in the routes.rb:

<ruby code> ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|   map.signup 'signup', :controller => 'users', :action => 'new'   map.logout 'logout', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'destroy'   map.login 'login', :controller => 'sessions', :action => 'new'   map.resources :sessions

  map.resources :users

  map.connect ':controller/:action/:id'   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'

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

  end </ruby code>

And the controller is app/controllers/index.rb and it have the class Index and the def Index. This is the code:

<ruby code> class Index < ActiveRecord::Base   def Index

  end   end </ruby code>

If I put this in my rails project, say me this the localhost:

<quote> We're sorry, but something went wrong.

We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly. </quote>

Can someone explain me how does the map.root?

Thanks for your attention.

Greetings

I don't think this has anything to do with map.root - your controller should be called IndexController, it should be in index_controller.rb and it shouldn't be inheriting from ActiveRecord::Base. Also, method names should begin with a lowercase character.
