The options for running Rails under WEBrick suggest that I can pass in
the name of the default controller so that I get my correct application
start page, rather than the welcome screen
opts.on("-i", "--index=controller", String,
"Specifies an index controller that requests for root will go
to (instead of congratulations screen)."
) { |OPTIONS[:index_controller]| }
I''ve tried numerous ways to set this value, yet I always get that
Welcome to Rails page.
None of these work for me:
ruby script\server --index="pitches"
ruby script\server --index=pitches
ruby script\server -ipitches
That last one appears to actual assign a value to
OPTIONS[:index_controller], but that doesn''t seem to mean anything.
When I call
http://beta.mysite.com:3000
I just get "Congratulations, you''ve put Ruby on Rails!",
rather than the
index page for the ''pitches'' controller
This is on Rails 0.10 and Ruby 1.8.2, 1-click on win2k
I have this in my routes.rb
map.connect '':controller/:action/:id'' , :controller =>
''pitches''
map.connect '''' , :controller =>
''pitches''
and it works fine using CGI. But not so well with WEBrick.
Thanks,
James

You want the :controller/:action/:id one to be last, always. it doesn''t *really* matter in this situation because those two routes can never be confused, but if in future you create a new route that has three options (:foo/:bar/:baz), then it won''t be used because the :controller/:action/:id one will take precedent. Just remember, they''re in the order that they would be processed, so whichever one is more important should come first, the default one should always come last. And delete public/index.html and you''ll be fine. -- One Guy With A Camera http://rbpark.ath.cx

Mine doesn''t say anything about that (or mention routes). I have installed Rails 0.10.1, though I created my app with 0.10.0, so this help text isn''t in my app. I also see that the option to alter the default action via WEBrick params has been removed in 0.10.1, too. Interesting. Thanks, James
