Newbie - routing error

Rails
1

I downloaded Ruby, gem, and mysql and followed your tutorial. I also
checked other postings on routing error andf followed ‘Leon A’
sugggestion to a similar problem.

I successfully install ruby and gem according to your instruction in
"Rolling w/ Ruby on Rails book in
Radar – O’Reilly,

i create:
ruby script\generate controller Mytest

which opens SciTE editor and i type:

class MytestController < ApplicationController
def index
render_text => “Hello World”
end
end

i run my firefox browser on http://127.0.0.1:3000/MyTest and i get:

Routing Error

Recognition failed for “/My_Test/”

Please help

my environment is
win XP sp2
firefox 1.5

Don’t put caps in the middle of a word unless you want Rails to put an
_Underscore between the words. try mytest

your suggestion caused me to look at how I was handling caps/nocaps
throughout, and I saw that i wasnt consistent when i ran the command -
ruby script\generate controller Mytest

i re-ran the ruby script making sure I matched case
I also got rid of the ‘=>’ assignment operator as it was causing a
sytax error
the corrected script below called ‘mytest_controlled.rb’ myworked ;

class MyTestController < ApplicationController
def index
render_text “hello World!”
end
end

thanks so much for your prompt reply. I was going to throw ruby out the
window, just like i did with php.

instead, I am now more motivated to continue with the tutorial and
learn the tool so I can build my first website , in order to promote my
company
