Hello everyone,
My name is Brandon. I have just finished setting up a ruby on
Rails server with PostgreSQL. No i am on windows server 2003 R2
service pack 2.
I can create an app, and seems like create a controller....
ruby script/generate controller hello index
but when i type localhost:3000 all i get is the
"welcome aboard, your riding Ruby on Rails."
home screen not my Hello#index page.
any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

You have your server running. Now you need to delete public/ index.html which is just a placeholder page and the one you are currently seeing. You also have to modify config/routes.rb to include something like: map.root :controller => "hellos" That tells the Rails routing system that the root of your application (where someone goes if they go to ''/'') should be to the default action in the HellosController. If your controller is really called HelloController, then: map.root :controller => "hello" Hope this helps.
