The main index.html

So if I want to grab info from various Models and put it on the main Index page how does that work? Since there's no main index view or controller?.. or is there?..

Anyone know off hand what that would be to connect a controller and view to the main index.html?

been looking around, seems this should do it?

map.connect "/", :controller => 'the5one', :action => "index"

Tried a few combinations of that.. can't get it going.. I'll fiddle around a bit more..

Got it!

Either of these work:

  map.connect "", :controller => 'mycontroller', :action => "index"

  map.root :controller => "mycontroller"

I just had to delete the index.html in the public directory.

Rails's default index.html file tells you what to do there.

Not to beat a dead horse, but your routes.rb file is pretty clear on this.

... # You can have the root of your site routed with map.root -- just remember to delete public/index.html. # map.root :controller => "welcome" ...
