Routing Error - Recognition failed for

Rails
1

I followed the guide for RailsOnWindows
(http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/RailsOnWindows) and completed
all the steps without any problems. But when I try to access my page, I
get:

Routing Error

Recognition failed for “/rails”

rails is what I have in my httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName rails

DocumentRoot “D:/devapps/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/hello/public”
<Directory “D:/devapps/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/hello/public”>
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi

I must be missing something but I don’t see it. I’ve read over all the
steps several times. I’ve searched quite a bit with google but I do not
find any solutions for this problem. Thanks in advance for any help!

Are you trying to access “http://localhost/rails” ? That apache config
doesn’t do that. It creates a server called ‘rails’ and sets up Rails
to be at the root of that server.

You should just be able to use http://localhost/

Hi,

How you are accessing that page ?
What is the URL, you have given in your address bar ?

Let me rephrase that. What are you typing in the browser ?
