I am working with "One month rails" (rails 4), used 'rails generate controller pages home' for new home page. It all seems fine but the local host page is still stating "welcome aboard You’re riding Ruby on Rails!" and not the new home page as expected. any idea what might be the problem?

  • also- removing the line //= require_tree . from application.js didn't work. – user3370329 Mar 02 '14 at 11:30
  • add in `Gemfile` the following line `gem 'therubyracer'` then run `bundle install` – itsnikolay Mar 02 '14 at 11:32

There are 3 steps that should be done:

  • map the new controller and action to your root_path in your config routes (as itsnikolay suggests )
  • remove the default index page public/index.html (as ardochhigh suggests)
  • restart you development server

You should change your "root" mapping realtionship in config/routes.rb. Make sure "root" point to the page (controller#action) you want.

You need to delete the default index page.

Go to your Rails root directory and delete public/index.html

rm public/index.html
