Tutorial intructions...
Now, you have to tell Rails where your actual home page is located. Open the file config/routes.rb in your editor. This is your application’s routing file which holds entries in a special DSL (domain-specific language) that tells Rails how to connect incoming requests to controllers and actions. This file contains many sample routes on commented lines, and one of them actually shows you how to connect the root of your site to a specific controller and action. Find the line beginning with :root to, uncomment it and change it like the following:
Blog::Application.routes.draw do
#...
# You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
# just remember to delete public/index.html.
root :to => "home#index"
The root :to => "home#index" tells Rails to map the root action to the home controller’s index action.
Now if you navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser, you’ll see Hello, Rails!.
THE FILE THAT I HAVE TO EDIT...
Blog::Application.routes.draw do
get "home/index"
# The priority is based upon order of creation:
# first created -> highest priority.
# Sample of regular route:
# match 'products/:id' => 'catalog#view'
# Keep in mind you can assign values other than :controller and :action
# Sample of named route:
# match 'products/:id/purchase' => 'catalog#purchase', :as => :purchase
# This route can be invoked with purchase_url(:id => product.id)
# Sample resource route (maps HTTP verbs to controller actions automatically):
# resources :products
# Sample resource route with options:
# resources :products do
# member do
# get 'short'
# post 'toggle'
# end
#
# collection do
# get 'sold'
# end
# end
# Sample resource route with sub-resources:
# resources :products do
# resources :comments, :sales
# resource :seller
# end
# Sample resource route with more complex sub-resources
# resources :products do
# resources :comments
# resources :sales do
# get 'recent', :on => :collection
# end
# end
# Sample resource route within a namespace:
# namespace :admin do
# # Directs /admin/products/* to Admin::ProductsController
# # (app/controllers/admin/products_controller.rb)
# resources :products
# end
# You can have the root of your site routed with "root"
# just remember to delete public/index.html.
# root :to => "welcome#index"
# See how all your routes lay out with "rake routes"
# This is a legacy wild controller route that's not recommended for RESTful applications.
# Note: This route will make all actions in every controller accessible via GET requests.
# match ':controller(/:action(/:id(.:format)))'
end
AMRYKID WHAT THE HECK IN THE FILE DO I CHANGE AND WHATS IT SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE!
