Problem with root

Hi All,

I'm new in the ruby on rails world. I would like to ask you about any advice according to this problem

I'm having problems with redirection, I have this line in the routes.rb

root :to => 'welcome#index', :as => 'home'

in the app/controllers folder I have welcome_controller.rb

and in the views/welcome/index.html.erb file

but when I use http://my.domain.com/

I have the 404 page.

but if I use http://my.domain.com/login, it does work.

Thanks

show us what happens when you run

tail -f log/development.log

in a console window while you hit the page in your browser

Hi Jason,

using this tail -f log/development.log, and then requesting the domain, it does not show anything, but in the log of the site it does have these messages:

What does the Apache conf file look like for this host? Apache is trying to tack an auto-index on this page, which is messing with the route passed in from Passenger.

Here's a snippet from one of mine -- note the -Indexes directive. Does yours have that?

  <Directory /data/www/example.com/public>     Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks -MultiViews     AllowOverride All     Order allow,deny     allow from all   </Directory>

Hi Walter this is mine:

<VirtualHost *:80>     ServerName my.domain.com     DocumentRoot /var/www/     ErrorLog logs/redmine_error_log

   <Directory "/var/www/redmine/public/">     Options -MultiViews Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks     Order allow,deny     Allow from all     AllowOverride all    </Directory> </VirtualHost>

if I set -Indexes, the site does not work at all.

I got the solution of the problem,

in the .htaccess file I had this rule

RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]

I comment it and now it works like a charm.

Thank you!
