running virtual rails on linux mint with rails 2.3.4
im having trouble redirecting routes so here is what ive done by following tutorials:
i opened rails directory and created rails_test then i ran script/server to boot mongrel i opened another terminal and changed directory to rails_test i then ran script/generate controller site index about help then i went back to terminal and typed rm public/index.html to remove index page after this i went to rails_test folder then navigated and opened config routes.rb once in routes.rb i changed the following line:
map.root :controller => "welcome" to... map.root :controller => "site"
i then got an error message stating something went wrong after opening browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000/ i have pasted below the routes.rb file the only thing i changed was map.root :controller => "welcome" to...... map.root :controller => "site"
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map| # The priority is based upon order of creation: first created -> highest priority.
# Sample of regular route: # map.connect 'products/:id', :controller => 'catalog', :action => 'view' # Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller and :action
# Sample of named route: # map.purchase 'products/:id/purchase', :controller => 'catalog', :action => 'purchase' # This route can be invoked with purchase_url(:id => product.id)
# Sample resource route (maps HTTP verbs to controller actions automatically): # map.resources :products
# Sample resource route with options: # map.resources :products, :member => { :short => :get, :toggle => :post }, :collection => { :sold => :get }
# Sample resource route with sub-resources: # map.resources :products, :has_many => [ :comments, :sales ], :has_one => :seller
# Sample resource route with more complex sub-resources # map.resources :products do |products| # products.resources :comments # products.resources :sales, :collection => { :recent => :get } # end
# Sample resource route within a namespace: # map.namespace :admin do |admin| # # Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController (app/ controllers/admin/products_controller.rb) # admin.resources :products # end
# You can have the root of your site routed with map.root -- just remember to delete public/index.html. map.root :controller => "site"
# See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes"
# Install the default routes as the lowest priority. # Note: These default routes make all actions in every controller accessible via GET requests. You should # consider removing or commenting them out if you're using named routes and resources. map.connect ':controller/:action/:id' map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format' end
