How to start a application from a controller

Rails
1

I am new to ROR. I want to start my application from the controller
instead of /public/index. Is it possible?

What do you “start application from the controller”?

Do you want the root of you publicly accessible file to not be in the
public directory?

If so, this is a very bad idea. It will be too easy to download your
source code, or worse, your database password.

Hi, if you mean you want to go to

http://example.com/

instead of

http://example.com/index

then you need to edit config/routes.rb. Set this line to the
controller you want:

map.connect ‘’, :controller => “go”

Hope that helps.

Thank You! I did set up in routes.rb and it worked!
Alex, is there any way I can protect downloading my source code (or even
view HTML source on browser) because I don’t have any content on my
index page.

That is a FAQ on HTML forums. There’s no way to hide your HTML from the
user, because once you send it over the wire, they own it, and they need
it
to be secure.

Your Ruby is naturally invisible!
