starting ruby on rails application

Question

Hello,

I'm having problems starting my application. Basically, I have an existing application, but just recently trying to test out ruby on another machine. As such, I keep getting the welcome screen, even though I'm starting script/server in my application folder.

Any help to actually start my application would be much appreciated. I assume there is a rails path or something that needs to be set up look for the specific code, rather than just show the welcome rails webpage.

Thank you

You need to delete your public/index.html file, and then setup a root map in the routes.rb file:

map.root :controller => "pages", :action => "welcome"
