I have this in my routes.rb: map.resources :events # ... map.root :controller => "events", :action => :index Surely enough, accessing http://localhost:3000/ renders the events/index.html.erb template. However, accessing http://localhost:3000/events renders the same page/template slightly different, as the controller logic (EventsController#index) loads some objects that''s not available at "/". Apparently the root route doesn''t run the controller logic at all - it only renders the template. Is there something wrong here, or am I the one with wrong expectations? How can I fix it? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Try to change the mapping to: map.root :controller => "events", :action => "index" The root route does run the controller logic, maybe there is something mistyped in your routes.rb file.

I find this very strange actually... what version of rails u r on?? what happens if u just specified the controller in the mapping (with no action at all).. the index is the default action anyway.. try map.root :controller => "events" On Sun, Oct 19, 2008 at 1:14 AM, Christian Johansen < rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Yup, specifying the action as a string fixed it.
