Hi, I am adding login functionality to my app which has two controllers users and photos and i am having some trouble. In my users/index view \<%if logged\_in? %\> \<%=render “photos/index”%\> \<%else%\> … Home page With login… \<%end%\> In my photos/index view \<%if logged\_in? %\> … Welcome page … \<%else%\> \<%=render “users/index”%\> \<%end%\> Routes: map.root :controller =\> ‘user’, :action =\> ‘surahome’ When i login to the page, it redirects to [http://www.example.com/photos](http://www.example.com/photos) and the page displays correctly. When i access the main url [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com) ``` i got this error : Missing template photos/_index.erb in view path ``` app/views I am working with rails 2.3.5 Any sugestions? Thanks in advance Senling ---
