I keep getting this error when I go to [http://localhost:3000/MyTest/](http://localhost:3000/MyTest/). I  
created this controller inside Terminal and then I edited the  
my\_test\_controller.rb file so inside it says:

class MyTestController \< ApplicationController  
def index  
render\_text “Please Help”  
end  
end

I also deleted the index.html file in the public folder and I have not  
edited anything in the routes.db.

I’m not too sure of the problem, I was just reading and following a  
tutorial to get started with Ruby. I don’t know what to do if I can’t  
even get this to show.

Nvm, I figured it out.

Mind sharing? I am having the same problem and none of these solutions  
seem to work:  
Restarting WEBrick  
Changing the routes.rb file (or leaving it as is either)  
deleting the index file in the public folder

my setup is almost exactly the same except I have /reportcard/ and  
report\_card\_controller.rb

Any help is appreciated.  
Thanks.

The default route to your report\_card\_controller.rb would be mapped  
as /report\_card and not as /reportcard
