This is very weird behavior for rails.

1. When I visit my app

[http://localhost:3000/admin/base/login](http://localhost:3000/admin/base/login)

class Admin::BaseController \< ApplicationController  
def login  
render :text =\> “running”  
end  
end

1. but when I go here  
[http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)

I get error because login.html.erb not found

1. even though my route looks like this.

map.root :controller =\> “Admin::Base”, :action =\> :login

Did any face this :S ?

try a string ‘login’  
map.root :controller =\> “Admin::Base”, :action =\> ‘login’

instead of a symbol  
map.root :controller =\> “Admin::Base”, :action =\> :login
