I just started working with Ruby. Anyways I can’t seem to figure out  
how to have this message disappear. I was reading a tutorial and based  
on it, when I type in [http://localhost:3000/MyTest/](http://localhost:3000/MyTest/) it should say  
whatever I have written down on my my\_test\_controller.rb file.

I first ran: ruby script\generate controller MyTest

then I edited the my\_test\_controller.rb file

## It currently says:

## class MyTestController \< ApplicationController def index render\_text “Please Help” end end

I removed the index file from the public folder also.

Can anyone give me some quick advice for how I can get this to show  
up?

I also have not edited the routes.rb file and I am running on a Mac.

[http://localhost:3000/my\_test/](http://localhost:3000/my_test/)
