Hi All

I’m trying setup a RoR project. So far I’ve only done some HTML stuff  
(nothing with controller, models etc)

So I have my RoR environment (via $\> rails my\_project) but when I ask  
for [http://127.0.0.1:3000](http://127.0.0.1:3000)  
I get the following error

```auto
Processing ApplicationController#index (for 127.0.0.1 at 2009-03-06
08:11:17) [GET]

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches
"/javascripts/lib/builder.js" with {:method=>:get}):
    /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action_controller/routing/recognition_optimisation.rb:66:in

`dispatch'
    /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.2.2/lib/action_controller/dispatcher.rb:132:in
`dispatch_cgi'
.......
```

At this point I only want to use static html files (in public) css and  
javascript

Any suggestions how to fix this ?

thnx  
LuCa

Looks like your index.html is referencing a javascript file that  
doesn’t exist (at least not at the location you’ve asked for).

I don’t do anything with ‘builder.js’ in my html or javascript.  
I guess it has todo with the ApplicationController#index
