Why default page is calling even though index.html.erb file in public folder is missing?

Question

I am developing a simple ruby on rails app.The server has started successfully.Then when we go to the default web url localhost:3000/ the default route is called showing the home page about the instructions.But we dont want this so need to remove the index.html.erb file in the public folder under the main project directory.The real problem is the file is missing and still the default page is loading.

What is really happening here and where is the index.html.erb file located.[Dont Mark it Duplicate because here the problem is different].How to call another route to show some mypage.html

Add root to your routes.rb

root 'MyController#my_action'

You want to set your home root for your application. Just pick another route, example below.

root 'static_pages#home'

You don't wan to link application as your home route. The issue with that is it a template and not an actual page, it just helps with rendering the pages. Go to `localhost:3000/rails/info` to see all of your routes that you coulde use – Tall Paul Apr 19 '16 at 18:17

Found this soluton Link here Coffee script 1.9.0 doesn't play well with Windows. On my Windows 7 machine, using version 1.8.0 solved this problem.

Add to Gemfile

gem 'coffee-script-source', '1.8.0'

then, run

bundle update coffee-script-source

and restart the server (if needed)
