i thought we don’t need to restart the server by

ruby script/server

after we use

ruby script/generate controller Bar index help

?

but if i don’t restart the server, it will say for localhost:3000/bar

Routing Error

No route matches “/bar” with {:method=\>:get}

is it true that we need to restart the server or is there a fast way  
instead? thanks.

You need to restart the server when you add controllers. If you are  
just changing them then you don’t.

oh i just tried Rails 1.2.6 on my macbook. seems like here, we don’t  
need to restart server. maybe we only need to restart when it is Rails  
2.0 and above? thanks.

can’t 1.2.6 and 2.3 both build a website that is quite “Rails”? what  
function or speed enhancement can be obtained? it is said that Ruby 1.9  
is a lot faster but i wonder if Ruby 1.9 can be used with Rails 2.3?  
thanks

Maybe. 1.2.6 was a long time ago. If this is a new project you  
should drop that quick and get 2.3.x… a lot has changed since 1.2.6.
