I have been programming in RoR for about 2 months now, but the projects that I have started I have aloways started in the middle, so I have never built anything from the ground up. I’m now trying to start from the beginning and am getting a strange error message when trying to load the first page: no route found to match “/music/index.rhtml” with {:method=\>:get} Now, there is a method for index but it just redirect\_to another method and page. This should be working but I;m wondering if I don’t have some strange configuration issue somewhere? Thanks in advance, -S ---

what does your redirect\_to line look like? And is this in your music\_controller? Adam ---

> map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’ and a couple others. the order of the routes that you put there could be causing a mess (if you are asking about configuration issues that has to do with routing, it would be in this file; therefore, this may be the problem.) - make sure the settings are in the correct order: the routes that appear on the top are higher precedence than the ones at the bottom. (even if you know this, it can be confusing, and this could be a problem of a route ‘overwriting’ a different one.) aside from that, just at looking at the error > > no route found to match “/music/index.rhtml” with {:method=\>:get} is a little odd; is the url you are directing to end with “…rhtml” ? if you were just plain redirecting to :action =\> :music, it would error out like > no route found to match “/music/index” anyway. ---

The redirect does end in .rhtml but in my controller I am saying redirect\_to :action =\> 'welcome" I have tried it with just putting a simple “Hello World” for the index page and that works. Its just when I try and redirect from the index method to my welcome page do I get this error. Thanks, ~S ---

It’s just the standard routes: map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’ and a couple others.
