Hello to all ,  
I am new in ruby development, so please me, i am asking a very simple  
query.

Problem :  
I created a simple greeting application

1. F:\RubyProjects\>rails chapterone

2. F:\RubyProjects\chapterone\>rails script/generate controller  
greeting

3. after that i edit greeting\_controller.rb

class GreetingController \< ApplicationController  
def index  
@welcome\_message=“Welcome to your first rail application”  
end  
end

1. then i create a index.html.rb file in app/view/greeting folder

# \<%=@welcome\_message %\>

1. then i open browser http:\localhost:3000/greeting

here i got a error

* * *

MissingSourceFile in GreetingController#index

So can any one suggest me , how to get out of this error.

Thank you,  
Vikas G…

I think that this file should be named index.html.erb (.erb, not .rb)
