Hi all,  
I have bought a space on BlueHost to host my RoR project but I couldn’t  
find solution to configure to call my controller by just typing  
[www.whollycity.com/mycontroller](http://www.whollycity.com/mycontroller).  
It would be a very thankful to whom who can help me to do this.  
Regards,

Sok.

mycontroller\_controller.rb, I just do like this:  
class MycontrollerController \< ApplicationController  
def index  
render :text=\>“Hello to My RoR”  
end  
end

go to routes.rb file in config directory and add something like  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’, :controller =\> ‘mycontroller’  
before this line  
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’

also rename the index.html file in your public folder to something  
else, like index1.html

and then restart your server

this should work

Shouldn’t that be:

map.connect ‘’, :controller =\> ‘mycontroller’
