I have a controller named main and it’s mapped through routes.rb

when I link to “main\_path” I get this error:

uninitialized constant MainsController

I tried creating a MainsController and mapping that but didn’t seem to  
help.

What methods do you have in your MainsController?

does by default.

How are you mapping it in the routes.rb?
