I’m following [http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Tutorial](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/Tutorial)
[http://localhost:3000/hello](http://localhost:3000/hello) gives:
"Hello#index
Find me in app/views/hello/index.rhtml"
which is the expected output. What’s not expected is:
[thufir@localhost dummy]$
[thufir@localhost dummy]$
[thufir@localhost dummy]$ cat /home/thufir/dummy/views/hello/world.rhtml
aaaaaaargh
[thufir@localhost dummy]$
[thufir@localhost dummy]$ ll /home/thufir/dummy/views/hello/
total 8
-rw-rw-r-- 1 thufir thufir 11 May 16 19:34 world.rhtml
[thufir@localhost dummy]$
[thufir@localhost dummy]$ ll /home/thufir/dummy/views/
total 8
drwxrwxr-x 2 thufir thufir 4096 May 16 19:29 hello
[thufir@localhost dummy]$
[thufir@localhost dummy]$ date
Thu May 17 05:51:41 BST 2007
[thufir@localhost dummy]$
[thufir@localhost dummy]$
so, where’s this file “index.rhtml” at then, please?
thanks,
Thufir

If I have to create it, then it’s not to be found until I create it.
no?

Heh, just added the scaffold line,
ruby /home/thufir/dummy/script/generate scaffold dummy
to the bash script so now [http://localhost:3000/dummies/list](http://localhost:3000/dummies/list)
loads 🙂
I’m trying to get this working with a legacy database, so am a bit
torn as to whether to continue with dummies or try working with a copy
of the real database. Hmm, the scaffold seems so powerful that I
think I’ll start working on a scaffold for the legacy database.

Hope no one minds the long post, but I’m getting a bit more
comfortable with stuff, so here’s where I’m at now, I got the “hello

Just like the message tells you:
"Hello#index
Find me in app/views/hello/index.rhtml"
you will find it in “app/views/hello/index.rhtml” below your application
root.
