I’ve got Ruby on Rails and Apache. I’m trying to understand someone  
else’s Ruby code which is below. I don’t know how the “info\_path” -link  
works on the net. The link does go to some other site, but I don’t know  
how it works. Any suggestions?

\<%=link\_to " #{I18n.t ‘take\_part\_link2’}", info\_path %\>

Thanks to all answers!

Find the app/config/routes.rb file and read through that for where the  
info path is setup…

For a global roadmap of the app, from the app root, run  
rake routes \>routes.lst

Then look at that file for a clear delineation of all the routing that  
is built into the application

Hi

Do like Ar Chron says. Also you can try like  
./script/console  
app.info\_path
