Hi everyone,

Did this stop working in a recent version of Rails? I’m on 0.14.3 right  
now.

map.connect ‘’, :controller =\> “personnel”, :action =\> ‘list’

When running this, shouldn’t [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) bring me to  
[http://localhost:3000/personnel/list](http://localhost:3000/personnel/list) ?

Thanks,

Sean

Rails will call ‘personnel’ controller and ‘list’ action. The URL will  
stay  
the same.

Bah. My bad. When I upgraded at some point, the ‘rails’ command  
re-created the index.html page. I didn’t even realize it.

Thanks!
