I am a complete beginner to Ruby. I followed the tutorial to create my  
own scaffold called Books. My problem is that, when I make changes to  
its index.html.erb, the [http://url/books](http://url/books) page does not update for a  
few minutes. I am using a development environment, and the  
config.action\_controller.perform\_caching value is already set to  
false. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Andrew,

It sounds more like your browser could be caching things.

But to be sure rails is not caching anything, go to the terminal or  
command window where you are running your server, stop it with control-c  
then clear the cache like so…

for unix/mac  
rm tmp/cache -rf

for windows  
del tmp\cache -s

This will remove any rails based local cache.

Now restart your server & if the problem still occurs, you now know that  
its nothing to do with rails caching. So try clearing your browser cache  
and looking elsewhere for the problem.
