Cannot see my own layout (hierapolis gem)

Rails
1

Hello,

I did a whole ruby on rails install.
After that I wanted to use the hierapolis gem and did all the steps in
the
README.

But when I do rails s , I still see the standard welcome page.

What must I do to make this work.

In the original install, did you use Rails 4.1, or was it a lower
version? If lower, did you delete the index.html file from your /public
folder?

Hoi,

I use the 4.1 ruby.

Then did you update your routes.rb file to reflect where :root should
be?

Nope,

I only figured out that a application.html.erb is living on
/apps/views/layouts

but can I send root to a static page ?

If you put a static index.html in the public folder, that will become
your site root, or you can use a controller and a route to send a
different file, like this:

static_pages_controller.rb

class StaticPagesController < ApplicationController
# empty
end

/views/static_pages/your_page.html

…

/config/routes.rb

…
root to: ‘static_pages#your_page’

Rails’ defaults take care of all the rest of the wiring.
