Hi,

I am to learning Ruby on Rails with Rolling with Ruby on Rails  
orilley handout.

I created an empty application by using rails command.

Then i created my own controller using the command.

ruby script \generate controller MyTest  
This created a new controller file.

I used the port [http://127.0.0.1:3000/My\_Test](http://127.0.0.1:3000/My_Test) after starting the rails  
inbuilt server.

but i get the Routing Error.

No route matches “/My\_Test/index” with {:method=\>:get}

but when i just give the port alone it says Ruby on rails running in  
your system.

I just followed the tutorial but couldnt get through this step.

Go into your “public” directory (in your project) and rename the  
index.html to something else

Open config/routes and near the top add  
“map.resources :my\_tests”

Kill the process (control + c) and restart with script/server

That should do it
