Thanks! ---

Thanks for the reply. I didn’t change rout file. SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do |map| end What do I need to add?

Hello, Here’s how your routes.rb file should like for that /pages/home route to work: [gist:316367 · GitHub](http://gist.github.com/316367) In rails 3 rule for catching non-rest routes is deprecated so it’s commented out in routes.rb. You can read about it in Rails 3.0 Release Notes - [rails.info](http://guides.rails.info/3_0_release_notes.html#action-dispatch) ---

Rails 3 doesn't come with a generic rout mapping for controllers. The generator for models or scaffold will add the models as resources routes, so it will be RESTfull by default. It means that in any new rails 3 app, you will have to explicitly change the routes.rb to add the routes that are not related to a REST resource. Isn't it great? I love rails 3.
