I just started with ROR and I keep getting this error for a simple hello  
page. Pease help!

-------- development.log -------------  
ActionController::RoutingError (no route found to match “/demo/say/abc”  
with {:method=\>:get}):

-------- demo/app/views/abc.rhtml -------------

Hello, Rails!
# Hello from Rails! The time now is\<%=Time.now%\>

-------- demo/app/views/say\_controller.rb -------------  
class SayController \< ApplicationController  
def abc  
end  
end

-------- default demo/config/routes.rb -------------

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)

# You can have the root of your site routed by hooking up ‘’

# – just remember to delete public/index.html.

# map.connect ‘’, :controller =\> “welcome”

# Allow downloading Web Service WSDL as a file with an extension

# instead of a file named ‘wsdl’

map.connect ‘:controller/service.wsdl’, :action =\> ‘wsdl’

# Install the default route as the lowest priority.

map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’  
end

as in:

[http://localhost:3000/say/abc](http://localhost:3000/say/abc)
