Hi,

I configured my home path in routes.rb yet when I load the root url  
the home path doesnt get loaded automatically. My routes.rb is as

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|

map.home “”, :controller =\> “homz”, :action =\> “aboutviridian”  
map.featuresorganization “featuresorganization”, :controller =\>  
“feature”, :action =\> “organization”  
map.featuresmembers “featuresmembers”, :controller =\>  
“feature”, :action =\> “membership”  
map.featureswork “featureswork”, :controller =\> “feature”, :action  
=\> “work”  
map.featuressearchengine “featuressearchengine”, :controller =\>  
“feature”, :action =\> “searchengine”

map.resources :feature  
map.resources :homz

map.connect ‘:controller/:action’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’  
end

Note… the moment I change  
map.home “”, :controller =\> “homz”, :action =\> “aboutviridian”  
to  
map.home “home”, :controller =\> “homz”, :action =\> “aboutviridian”  
and do localhost:3000/home… it works

Can someone please help?
