Hello all I’m doing the hello word example out of this book called Agile Web Development with Rails but I can’t get a result from the browser. I’ve only had this working on windows upto now and I really would like to get rails working on linux. I’m just getting started in Ruby on Rails and if anybody can help that’ll be grand. mark. Browser output: Not Found `/say/hello’ not found.
