Ruby on Rails Set Up

[davidinhawaii]

I have setup a Ruby on Rails site according to the documentation and I am able to access the public/index.html page. I have updated the config/routes.rb file to make

map.root :controller=>'home'

where I have the controller app/controllers/home_controller.rb

When I access the site root with my web browser (http://www.mywebsite.com) I am able to see /home/index fine. I am unable to access http://www.mywebsite.com/home/index directly. I get a 404 error.

Has anyone gotten a Ruby on Rails 2.3.4 site up and running?

David, this is just a suggestion as we do not have more information on the issue.

Please try the following.
1. Access the URL it without skipping the trailing '/' URL: http://www.mywebsite.com/home/index/
2. Change map.root :controller=>'home' ---> map.root, :controller=>"home", :action=>"index"

If we could recreate the error at our end, we may be able to help you better. Hence, if the problem persists, please provide us the following details : what server, which control panel, the application path that you have set etc.


If you are using a cpanel control panel. You can refer the following links.
