running virtual rails on linux mint with rails 2.3.4
im having trouble redirecting routes so here is what ive done by
following tutorials:
i opened rails directory and created rails_test
then i ran script/server to boot mongrel
i opened another terminal and changed directory to rails_test
i then ran script/generate controller site index about help
then i went back to terminal and typed rm public/index.html to remove
index page
after this i went to rails_test folder then navigated and opened
config routes.rb
once in routes.rb i changed the following line:
map.root :controller => “welcome” to…
map.root :controller => “site”
i then got an error message stating something went wrong after opening
browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000/
i have pasted below the routes.rb file
the only thing i changed was
map.root :controller => “welcome” to…
map.root :controller => “site”
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
The priority is based upon order of creation: first created →
highest priority.
Sample of regular route:
map.connect ‘products/:id’, :controller => ‘catalog’, :action =>
‘view’
Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller
and :action
Sample of named route:
map.purchase ‘products/:id/purchase’, :controller =>
‘catalog’, :action => ‘purchase’
This route can be invoked with purchase_url(:id => product.id)
Sample resource route (maps HTTP verbs to controller actions
automatically):
map.resources :products
Sample resource route with options:
map.resources :products, :member => { :short => :get, :toggle
=> :post }, :collection => { :sold => :get }
Sample resource route with sub-resources:
map.resources :products, :has_many =>
[ :comments, :sales ], :has_one => :seller
Sample resource route with more complex sub-resources
map.resources :products do |products|
products.resources :comments
products.resources :sales, :collection => { :recent => :get }
end
Sample resource route within a namespace:
map.namespace :admin do |admin|
# Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController (app/
controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)
admin.resources :products
end
You can have the root of your site routed with map.root – just
remember to delete public/index.html.
map.root :controller => “site”
See how all your routes lay out with “rake routes”
Install the default routes as the lowest priority.
Note: These default routes make all actions in every controller
accessible via GET requests. You should
consider removing or commenting them out if you’re using named
routes and resources.
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id’
map.connect ‘:controller/:action/:id.:format’
end
