I’d like to serve a particular rails app at /test and  
my webserver is serving up the app when I visit that URI but as  
suspected, rails looks for a controller or method called “test” and I  
get the following error message:  
No route matches “/test” with {:method=\>:get}

Can someone tell me what config change I need to make? I thought it  
might be the following line in config/environment.rb but I can’t get  
it to work by editing it.  
config.load\_paths += %W( {RAILS\_ROOT}/extras )
