Instantrails users - Jan 2006 - Now this should be an instant rails question...

I am now ready to put my site to the public (well private) users.

Whenever I go to the url, the only thing that gets displayed is the

"Coming Soon" page.

I''ve figured it out that that''s the index.html in the /www
dir.

How do I get it to point to my cookbook site?

this is probably something very simple that i''m overlooking..  and i
wont be able to look deeper until monday, so i figured i''d send out a
quick email and see if anyone can just point me in the right direction
(so i don''t waste time).

Thanks a bunch!
Ryan

One way would be copy the index.html page that already exists to redirect
from the base url of the cookbook app to the list-recipes page. You can find
it here:

   InstantRails\rails_apps\cookbook\public\index.html

Copy this to your \www directory and then modify the relative URLs it
contains to full URLs.

Look at the typo app for help:  remove the index.html page, and then in your
config/routes.rb, add:

# default
map.index '''', :controller  => ''articles'',
:action => ''index''

but replace your own controller and action.

I''d highly recommend buying the book, "Agile Web Development with
Rails", it
goes over this and several of your other questions.  It''s worth its
weight in gold.

Thanks David..

I bought the ebook version, and figured out that I was missing an
entry in the httpd.conf.
