Hi --
I''m very new to rails. I have a couple of what have to be
very naive questions. I don''t know what else to do but to
ask them. I will use separate posts.
The default page is public/index.html. Presumable this
would be what one would use as a home page. I don''t
understand why it''s setup as an html page (rather than
an rhtml page). I would think that it would be a common
requirement to have embedded ruby code in the home
page. Presumably I''m either missing something or there
is an easy work around. Could someone please square
me away? Thanks.

The /public directory in which all browsers look for index.html is not within the Rails application space. You can override this.

Everything under the public directory such as static html pages, images, javascripts and stylesheets will be served up to the browser by the webserver. It is there as a static file so that you can verify that you have installed everything properly on your machine. When you run the script/server on your machine, you will see the Welcome aboard, You are riding on Rails welcome screen. You can click on the environment setup which uses AJAX calls to show details about your environment.

Thanks.To render an .rhtml page requires the presense of a controller and a default "/" route pointing to that controller, neither of which are present when you run "rails <myapp>". That is why it''s a static HTML page. -- Michael Wang --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

They also have an example of how to do it using a regular route (as opposed to a named route) in routes.rb. In both cases one has to remember to trash public/index.html for the routing to work. Thanks for the input. ... doug --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
